Kolkata, Dec 16 || Four members of a family, including two children, have been killed in a tragic road accident in West Bengal’s Cooch Behar district, officials said here on Monday.
The accident took place late on Sunday night following which the four persons were shifted to a local hospital. However, all attempts by the doctors to treat them ultimately failed and on Monday morning all four of them were declared dead.
The two deceased have been identified as Sanjit Roy and his wife Bipasha Sarkar Roy. Their son Ivan Roy and daughter Ishita Roy have also been killed in the road accident.
According to a district police official, the four were returning home late Sunday night in Cooch Behar district from adjacent Tufanganj in the same district after attending a marriage function.
Sanjit Roy himself was driving the car. As the car passed through the Kaljani Heritage area, Sanjit somehow lost control over the steering after which the car fell into a river on the roadside, with four of them trapped inside the vehicle.
