Kaliganj blast death: Police arrest 4 more

PTI, KOLKATA, JUNE 28, 2025 : Police arrested four more persons, including two prime accused, in connection with the death of a girl in a bomb explosion in Kaliganj in Nadia district of West Bengal, a senior officer said on Saturday.

Two persons — Rahibul Sheikh and Nabab Sheikh — were arrested from Berhampore, while two others were held from Katwa in Purba Bardhaman during raids on Friday night, he said.

"These people were named in the FIR in the Kaliganj blast case. We arrested them last night, and they will be produced in court today. We will start questioning them soon," the police officer said.

All four have been booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including for rioting, voluntarily causing hurt, and culpable homicide, among others, he added.

On June 23 afternoon, 13-year-old Tamanna Khatun was killed in Molandi village of Kaliganj after bombs were allegedly hurled from a Trinamool Congress victory celebration rally taken out even before the results of the assembly bypoll were officially announced.

Earlier, five persons were arrested from the locality for their involvement in the issue.
