A man was accused of hurling two crude bombs at the house of his former wife in the Jhikodanga village under the jurisdiction of Harishchandrapur police station of Malda on Monday.

The explosions left Halima Parvin, the ex-wife of Rahim Ali, and her family members panicky. They have filed a complaint with police, blaming Ali for the attack.

“Ever since we have divorced, my former husband has been intimidating me and my family members and even resorting to attacks. Nine months back, he tried to torch my father’s house. We luckily escaped,” said Halima.

“Today, he hurled two bombs at the house that damaged a portion where my uncle stays. As we woke up and ran outside, we saw my ex-husband running away.”

Ali, however, said Halima was trying to falsely implicate him in the case.
