In a significant development, West Bengal police have detained Gaowal SK, a crucial suspect in the Kaliganj bomb blast, pushing the tally of arrests to nine. The tragic incident resulted in the death of a 13-year-old girl and has sparked political controversy.

The explosion in Molandi, Borochandghar, under the Kaliganj police jurisdiction, has been closely followed by the arrest of four prime suspects earlier: Adar Sk, Manowar Sk, Kalu Sk, and Anwar Sk.
