Mamata Banerjee alleged that PM Narendra Modi was using his party to start a fire in West Bengal, and warned that if Bengal burns, other states including Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Delhi too shall burn.

"There were a lot of policemen with the body (of the victim); the area had become very congested... We were told that there was a chance of the body getting decomposed..." the crematorium manager said.
