Kolkata: Angry locals went on rampage and clashed with police at Chingrighata crossing on Eastern Metropolitan Bypass, one of the busiest points of Kolkata, on Saturday morning after a bus reportedly jumped signal and killed two youths.
According to reports, the two victims, Sanjay Bonu and Biswajit Bhuniya, were students of a college. The bus driver had fled the spot after the accident.
Alleging lack of proper vigil at the accident-prone spot, locals gathered in large numbers and rained stones on the cops who came to control them.
Despite caning the agitated mob, the cops were left helpless as protesters set afire four buses, vandalised a police vehicle and attacked a fire engine that came to douse the fire in the buses.
