Kolkata Police Commissioner Prasun Mukherjee told IANS that one person was brought dead from the scene to the SSKM Hospital in the vicinity while three others were seriously injured.
“We are investigating if the explosion was due to a cylinder blast in the kitchen or something else,” Mukherjee said.
