The house of an Assembly poll candidate’s aide was bombed late on Friday. There were no casualties, and no insurgent group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.

Mohammad Abdul, who is a prominent worker of L. Jayanand, NPP candidate for the Khurai Assembly constituency, said: “This is not the first instance. There have been attacks in the past.”
