The CID of West Bengal police is looking into possible involvement of terror outfits like LeT and HuJI in the October 2 blast in Burdwan town which left two suspected militants dead.
“We are looking into all aspects. This is not the right moment to make a statement, but aspects like the terror angle and others are being investigated,” DIG (CID Operations) Dilip Adak told.
