There seems to be no stopping of bombs booming in Bengal. After Bhupatinagar and Basirhat blasts that killed three and injured some others, alleged infighting saw one group of the Trinamool Congress goons shooting and bombing the house of the leader of another group late on Tuesday night.

According to sources 12 rounds were fired and bombs were charged at the residence of former Bhangar block Trinamool Congress president Fajle Karim. Though the TMC leader was in the house he was not injured as he slept under the bed, he said.

The bullets thus fired pierced the wooden doors and made pock marks in the walls. Bombs were also charged at his house, Karim said blaming the rival group of Kaiser Aalam the present TMC block president.

Bhangar is a block notorious for political clashes some 20 miles east off Kolkata.
