The rented house was occupied by the members of JMB, ostensibly for Burqa Stitching though in reality it was being used for the nefarious activity of bomb-making. 02 accused persons had succumbed to their injuries caused due to bomb blast and 01 accused survived with grievous injuries. The case was initially registered by West Bengal Police and subsequently, the NIA took over the probe.
