Just heard that there was a blast in Kolkata (a few minutes ago) killing two people, can someone confirm this?

Yup. In north Calcutta. Reports still sketchy. 5 injured, 2 killed. May their souls R.I.P.
Both were kids. GOD!!

Reports say that it was a crude bomb which went off. I hope its an isolated case, gotta go to the station to drop some relatives in an hour.

Appears to be a discarded shell from the Gun & Shell Co. Some people found it and started to dismantle it. 4 dead till now, 6 injured.
Its not a terror attack states the police.

That is really re-assuring, what with bombs being found all over, like pot-holes?!
