The CPI(M) alleged that the Bhumi Uchhed Pratirodh Committee (BUPC), spearheading the anti-land acquisition movement in Nandigram block of East Midnapore district, was behind the killing.



Party sources said the BUPC members allegedly hurled bombs in the camp killing three party activists.



Denying the charges, BUPC core committee member Sabuj Pradhan said the blast took place when the three were making bombs.



Tension ran high in Nandigram as the BUPC called bandh on Sunday in protest against the clash on Saturday in which one person was killed.
