Patna, May 31 (IANS): A BJP leader and his family in Bihar's Gaya had a narrow escape after four bombs were thrown on his house early on Wednesday, police said.

BJP leader Santosh Gupta and his family members were sleeping in their house in Dobhi area when two attackers on a bike came and threw four bombs, one after the other, at around 2 a.m. on Wednesday. However, none of them came close to Gupta or his family.
