February 24, 2025, 4:43 pm

A 27-year-old woman was killed in a road accident in West Bengal’s Paschim Bardhaman district while attempting to flee from suspected eve-teasers who were chasing her in another car.

The victim, a Chinsurah-based event management professional, was travelling to Gaya with three of her colleagues when the accident took place at Panagarh around 9:30 pm on Sunday, according to police. Two other car passengers were left with critical injuries.

Harassment on the Highway

The woman and her colleagues had only refilled their car at a petrol pump when a white car with five men started following them.

“As soon as they got on the highway, the men in the other car started making indecent comments towards the victim and started driving dangerously,” a senior police officer told PTI.

The suspects allegedly obstructed the victim’s car dangerously close to a road divider, causing a fatal accident. The car overturned, and because the victim was sitting in the front, she sustained serious injuries. She was taken to a nearby hospital but was pronounced brought dead.

Suspects Flee the Scene

After the accident, the harassers left their car and ran away. The police have taken both cars into custody and filed an FIR at the Kanksa police station.

Alcohol in Suspects’ Car

Initial investigations indicate the accused were drunk at the time of the incident. “We found glasses in the car with alcohol content,” the officer said. The vehicle owner has been found to be a resident of Panagarh.

The authorities have initiated a manhunt for the accused, and the body of the victim has been taken for post-mortem examination.

Government Announces Rs 1.5 lakh Cashless Treatment for Road Accident Victims, Check details

January 8, 2025, 12:18 pm

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari revealed a new initiative to provide cashless treatment for road accident victims by March 2025. The scheme will offer up to Rs 1.5 lakh in medical expenses for up to seven days after an accident. It will cover accidents involving motor vehicles on all types of roads.

How the Scheme Will Work

The National Health Authority (NHA) will oversee the program. It will collaborate with police, hospitals, and state health agencies. The program will run through an IT platform, connecting the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways’ e-Detailed Accident Report (eDAR) app with the NHA’s Transaction Management System.

Pilot Launch and Expansion

The initiative started as a pilot project in Chandigarh on March 14, 2024. It then expanded to six more states. The goal is to provide timely medical care during the crucial “golden hour” after an accident.

Focus on Road Safety and Driver Fatigue

Gadkari also addressed the need to tackle road safety issues. He mentioned plans to regulate working hours for commercial drivers. This policy will mirror pilot regulations to address driver fatigue, a leading cause of fatal accidents.

Additionally, he noted the country faces a shortage of 22 lakh drivers.

Key Topics at the Road Transport Workshop

A two-day workshop held from January 6–7, 2025, focused on improving road transport. Key discussions included speeding up the Vehicle Scrapping Policy and nationwide implementation of PUCC 2.0. They also reviewed timelines for BS-VII norms aimed at reducing pollution.

Plans for Driver Training and Vehicle Safety

Gadkari announced plans to establish Driver Training Institutes (DTIs) across India. These institutes will receive incentives, along with additional benefits for integrated infrastructure. He also stressed the need for new safety regulations for E-Rickshaws.

The workshop also highlighted several other safety measures. These include Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for trucks, stricter enforcement of retro-reflective tape on vehicles, and introducing vehicle location tracking devices (VLTD) to ensure safety for women and children.

Looking Ahead

Car mowed down retired IB officer, Probe intensified

November 6, 2022, 8:28 pm

The former Intelligence Bureau official was struck and killed on the Manasagangotri campus in Mysuru on Friday night. On Sunday, the Mysuru police stated they have intensified their investigation to find the perpetrators and find the automobile.

The 83-year-old former IB officer, R.N. Kulkarni, was killed by a speeding car around 5.30 p.m. while out for his usual evening stroll on the vast campus. Despite initially believing it to be a case of a road accident, the police later suspected murder based on their initial investigation, particularly after obtaining CCTV evidence.

Three teams were formed as part of a full-fledged investigation to find the perpetrators of the crime. A major search has been launched to find the anonymous grey automobile that struck him and then raced off.

Mr. Kulkarni lived in Sharadadevi Nagar in Mysuru and had relocated there after retiring.

According to reports, the police have detained a few people to question.

On Sunday, Police Commissioner Chandragupta informed the modes that teams are working to find the automobile. “We are interrogating a few folks. “We’re looking at everything,” he said.

Kulkarni was crossing the small road on one side when a car without a licence plate veered off the road, struck him, and then raced off.

The car had no licence plate, the driver(s) did not stop after hitting the elderly person, and the narrow road is not typically used by cars because there are alternate roads. These factors led the police to suspect murder.

The police are also looking into whether the assailants followed Mr. Kulkarni’s movements before mowing him down.
