The dead, with the severed head and torso lying on the road was Indrajit Dey (27) of Garia in South Kolkata. Indrajit and his wife riding pillion were on a motorcycle when they crashed at dangerously high speed at 2.15 am on the intervening night of 'Chaturthi' and 'Panchami' of Durga Puja on Sunday 2021-10-10 on the north bound flank of EM Bypass between Byepass Dhaba and Chingrighata flyover, less than 2.5 kms from my house in Kolkata.
His wife Subhra (25), riding pillion was critically injured and taken to WB Government owned SSKM Hospital after being taken to two private hospitals off the EM Bypass. It's not known if she ultimately survived or not.
The couple were flung 15 - 20 feet away from their bike after skidding. Indrajit's head severed after he had landed on the sharp pointed edge of the iron railings on the the median divider.
The couple and their relatives riding another bike were out pandal hopping and was bound for the Burj Khalifa replica Durga Puja pandal at Sreebhumi on VIP Road which leads to the NSCBI Airport.
