Police said the explosion blew away the roof of the single-storey building and damaged its walls. The blast that occurred at around 2 am brought local people near the club. They found that fire was raging inside the damaged building.
A fire tender arrived at the spot and doused the blaze. District Superintendent of Police Shyam Singh said, "Forensic experts have taken samples from the spot. A case has been registered." The TMC and the BJP blamed each other for the incident. "The BJP men had stored explosives in the club, which went off," TMC district president Anubrata Mondal said.
