Kolkata: A day after Bidhannagar Police started raids against sale of banned sky lanterns and illegal crackers around 8kms of the airport, the officers on Friday seized over 3,000 sky lanterns and a huge cache of banned crackers like rockets, shells and dodoma from the house of a Trinamool Congress councillor.
Officers of Baguiati police station barged into the house of Basabi Dutta at Ashwininagar and seized the banned crackers from a godown on the ground floor of the house. Police said Dutta claimed that the crackers were stored by his brother-in-law, Kalipada Dutta, who is into the firecracker business.
