Kolkata: Two people were killed and seven suffered injuries in an explosion near the Sarbamangala Ghat in the city Sunday evening, the police said but denied it was a terrorist act.


The blast occurred at Sarbamangala Ghat when some rag pickers were rummaging through the garbage for plastic bags, they said, adding the bomb was hidden under the heap of garbage.


The incident took place around 1800 hours IST when some shop employees were rummaging through scrap iron kept in the shop.


"It was only a crude bomb. It is not linked to any subversive activity," deputy commissioner (detective department) Javed Shamim said.


The injured were rushed to nearby hospital. Primary investigations by the North Port police under which the area falls, revealed that the bombs were crude in nature.
