Five persons, all residents of Nalpa village under Garbeta police station, were waiting at a bus stand when the superintendent of police’s car ran them over while trying to avoid a collision with a motorbike rushing towards it.
A youth, Aloke Mondal (30), died on the spot while the SP took the other injured to Midnapore hospital in that car itself, Gupta said.
Aloke’s mother Arati Mondal (56) and another woman Alima Khatun (40) succumbed to their injuries in the hospital while the other two were released after first aid.
