One person was arrested today for his alleged involvement in the August 19 bomb blast outside the Kalimpong police station killing a civic volunteer and injuring two others.
"We have arrested one person from Kalimpong today in the early morning. He was involved in the blast outside Kalimpong police station," a senior police official said.
