Panagarh/Chandernagore: Cops from the Kanksa PS on Monday arrested Rajdeo Sharma, who was driving dancer Sutandra Chatterjee's car, which during a high-speed chase with an SUV on NH-19, crashed into a concrete chunk and a toilet on Rice Mill Road in Panagarh on Feb 24, leading to her death. Sharma is booked for culpable homicide, endangering life or safety of others, rash driving.
He was remanded in four-day cop custody. Sharma had earlier claimed Bablu Yadav and his aides in the SUV had harassed Sutandra and chased their car. He later retracted his claim, alleging he had chased Yadav SUV on "Madam's instructions".
