Truck hits vehicle of Adhikari's convoy, none hurt
A truck hit one of the vehicles in Bengal Leader of Opposition (LoP) Suvendu Adhikari's convoy on Friday afternoon when he was on his way to Kanthi from Tamluk, a police officer said.
According to the officer, a speeding Kalyani-Digha route bus went past the vehicle, which, in a bid to avoid collision, moved to the right and got hit by a truck instead. The driver of the truck fled the spot, abandoning the vehicle, he said, adding that a search to nab him has been initiated. Adhikari, later posting a picture of the damaged vehicle, said he and all others in his convoy were safe. "A heavy vehicle rammed into a CRPF escort car of my convoy. By the grace of Lord Jagannath, nobody was hurt. I am not injured & would continue attending scheduled events. I am grateful for the innumerous calls enquiring about my well-being & would assure everyone that I am fine," Adhikari tweeted. (PTI)
