Kolkata, Jun 30 (IBNS): A crude bomb explosion was reported in Bhairab Ganguly College on Thursday afternoon at Belghoria under Barrackpore Police Commissionerate limits in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, very close to Kolkata, reports said.
According to reports, sound of a crude bomb explosion was heard from college's toilet at around 3 pm, while an examination was underway there. 
 
Ground floor of the college building was covered with smoke. The incident triggered scare among the students.
