The menace of speeding once again haunted Kolkata’s iconic Maa Flyover, as a reckless driver knocked down a police personnel stationed near the bridge’s entry point. The incident, which occurred during broad daylight, left the on-duty traffic cop critically injured and sent shockwaves through the busy Park Circus area. According to eyewitnesses, the vehicle was traveling at an extremely high speed and failed to slow down despite the visible police presence and traffic signals.

The impact of the collision was so severe that the officer was thrown several feet away. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment, where his condition is being closely monitored. Kolkata Police acted swiftly, intercepting the vehicle and arresting the driver on the spot. Charges including rash driving, endangering life, and obstructing a public servant from duty have been filed against the individual.

Following the legal proceedings, the accused driver was produced before the court today, where the judge ordered his transfer to jail custody. The incident has reignited the debate over traffic safety and the increasing cases of road rage on Kolkata’s flyovers. Senior officials from Lalbazar have stated that they will be intensifying patrols and installing more speed-monitoring devices to prevent such life-threatening incidents in the future. For now, the focus remains on the recovery of the injured officer and a thorough investigation into the driver’s background.
