KOLKATA: Three days after a seven-year-old boy was killed and two of his friends were injured after the packet with which they were playing thinking it to be a ball,
exploded in Bhatpara in North 24-Parganas district, police arrested one person on Friday for his alleged
involvement with the matter, an officer said.
The man was nabbed from Kakinara for allegedly storing crude bombs, the officer said.
