An early morning accident killed two sub-inspectors (S-Is) and injured four,including three policemen,on Monday. The incident took place at 3.15 am when the six were returning to Tangra police station after dinner at a restaurant on Sarat Bose Road. Their vehicle,a Maruti Swift,rammed into a stationary tanker at 48 Park Street.
Prabal Roy,S-I,Tangra PS was driving the car while Dhana Pati Ghosh,an officer with the anti-rowdy section of Lalbazar,posted in Tangra PS,sat beside him. Both died on the spot. Sub-inspector A K Bhattacharya,constables Netai Ghosh and Dipankar Dey along with Tangra-based businessman Muzaffar Ahmed occupied the back seat. The car belonged to Ahmed.
It had been alleged that all six were drunk. A number of liquor bottles were found in the car, said a witness and an area local. Ironically,Tangra police station received the best police station award from the chief minister last December.
The injured were taken to SSKM Hospital and later moved to CMRI. The body of Probal Roy has been kept at Peace Heaven morgue as his wife will come from France and Ghoshs body will be taken to his native place in Malda.
