Bus race rips arm and life
A STAFF REPORTER
Barasat, March 16: Uma Maity’s arm was ripped off from her elbow and two rods pierced her throat and temple as the bus she was travelling to work in raced another this morning.

For a few minutes after her arm fell on the road below, the 47-year-old widow screamed in pain. Then she died.

“We have seized both the buses. We have launched a search for the drivers of both buses who have escaped,” said Supratim Sarkar, the North 24-Parganas superintendent of police. The drivers have been charged with “culpable homicide not amounting to murder”, he added.
