2014 Burdwan blast

The 2014 Burdwan blast refers to a significant explosion that occurred on October 2, 2014, in the Burdwan district of West Bengal, India. The blast took place at a house in the Khagragarh area, resulting in the deaths of two individuals and injuries to several others. Subsequent investigations revealed that the house was a suspected hub for militants linked to the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), an Islamist extremist group. The incident sparked widespread concerns over the presence of radical elements in the region and raised questions about national security. Authorities conducted multiple raids in the aftermath, leading to arrests and a deeper investigation into the group's activities and networks within India.
