The incident occurred at Dubrajpur in Birbhum late last night. The police have recovered a huge quantity of explosives from the site.


Over the past one year, West Bengal has been under the scanner of security agencies as a "secure hideout" for agents of Pakistan's spy agency ISI.


It is feared that that banned organisations like the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) has spread its network in Howrah, and both North and South 24-Parganas districts and set up organisational bases in districts like Murshidabad, Nadia, Burdwan and Birbhum.
