HOWRAH/ASANSOL: A day after MP and junior minister
Babul Supriyo’s convoy was breached on Friday evening, the vehicles escorting his car met with an accident near Kolkata on Saturday afternoon. Nobody was hurt.
Babul was on his way to attend Suvendu Adhikari’s rally in Tamluk. His convoy took National Highway 6 and reached Sandhipur area near Dulagarh, Howrah around 1.45pm.
The pilot car suddenly came to a halt, causing the cars behind it to slam their brakes. One of the vehicles was damaged as a result.
“After the escort car braked suddenly, my car managed to push to a side and avoid any collision. The cars behind me had to stop suddenly and they dashed the car in front. None were injured,” Babul said. “I did not lodge any complaint. But two consecutive accidents in my convoy in a span of 24 hours is surprising.”
On Friday, the minister’s convoy met with an accident near Jamuria when a Bolero car entered the wrong lane and hit the last car. Babul, who was driving, managed to escape the hit. His PSO Arijit sustained leg injury.
