Plans of mobile phone snatchers go haywire when bomb goes off

The true story behind the bomb explosion in a local train in Titagarh is all about the plan blowing up in the explosion – the bomb went off during an argument and scuffle between two groups of mobile snatchers.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 14 May 2015.

Investigation has revealed that this group of youths lived in a slum near the station. Their main targets were businessmen, fruit traders and BPO workers who travel by the early morning trains. On interrogation, they have said that they usually hang out from the first or last compartment and had initially targeted the down Muzzafarpur fast passenger train but later changed their plan.
Most of the money they get by selling the mobile phones go to buy drugs like heroin.
People of the railway colony know these youths who control a 2-km stretch between Laxmi Ghat and Railway Basti. They have strong political contacts and used to transport bombs for a larger gang of the Barrackpore industrial belt from the river to the railway network.

Blast in Kolkata local train leaves 18 injured - bomb blasts everyday affair in West Bengal

It was an early morning local train and, at least 18 passengers were injured when a bomb exploded. It was termed as a robbery bid at Titagarh station which is situated roughly 21km from Sealdah. Five of the injured are believed to be serious as reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 12 May 2015.
In the opinion of the police, the bomb went off accidentally during an argument between goons, but the railway officials differ. They believe it was a "gang war".

Whatever it be, the fact remains that some criminals did board the train with bombs.
While most of the injuries are from bomb splinters, others are of compound fractures because of jumping from the train due to panic.
West Bengal has always been known to be the land of intellectuals. The favorite phrase of 'what Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow’ appear to have lost steam. Today, Bengal is the breeding ground of bomb makers. The bombings in Titagarh on municipal Election Day and the explosions at Pingla and Ketugram, followed by this blast in the train has raised the questions on the lawlessness prevailing in the state.
It is a known fact that hooliganism and gundaism is supported by all the major political parties who maintain teams of supporters who get paid in different ways – and, thus, unemployment is kept in check to a large extent.
