Kolkata: Three policemen, including the officer-in-charge of a police station in West Bengal, were injured Friday when assailants hurled bombs at them.

The incident took place in Birbhum district's Panrui when a police team led by officer-in-charge Prasenjit Dutta raided a hideout in the area where crude bombs were allegedly stored. "We were attacked with bombs, sticks and bricks by the villagers," said Dutta, who sustained serious injuries and was admitted to a hospital.
