Telegraph | 17 August 2025
A man in his mid-20s, who works as a delivery partner, was allegedly beaten up by the driver of a car that hit the two-wheeler near Salt Lake City Centre on Friday night.
Police said the driver was drunk.
Bystanders told the police that after hitting the two-wheeler, the driver stopped the car, got off and beat up the delivery man, who was injured.
The two-wheeler was severely damaged and the rider could barely stand when the car’s driver started beating him, some eyewitnesses told the police.
The incident happened within two days of a 22-year-old food delivery executive was charred to death in Salt Lake after a car crashed into the two-wheeler that the delivery executive was riding and caught fire.
“Around 11pm on Friday, the car was moving from City Centre I towards Ramakrishna Island when it hit the two-wheeler. Bystanders took the delivery executive to a hospital,” said an officer of Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate.
“The driver was arrested. Since the delivery man did not want to lodge a complaint, the car’s driver was released.”
The police have arrested five persons from Kestopur for allegedly attacking the cops on Wednesday after the delivery boy was charred to death there.
