Real Estate Broker Arrested in Kolkata Blast Case
A real estate broker named Md Shahenshah was arrested in Kolkata for helping a man named Shamim rent a house using a fake identity.
This house was where a big explosion happened on Saturday.
The explosion was so strong that it damaged the building and hurt one person.
Police found many homemade bombs in the house and think they might have been used for something bigger.
They are still investigating to find out more about what happened and why.
A real estate broker, Md Shahenshah, was arrested in connection with the Kolkata Rajarhat blast case, bringing the total arrests to two.
Shahenshah is suspected of helping the prime accused, Shamim, rent a house in Suparibagan using a false identity.
The explosion occurred on Saturday in a rented room, causing extensive damage and injuring one person.
Police recovered multiple crude bombs from the house and defused two live bombs.
