KOLKATA: A civic volunteer — identified as Abhijit Haldar — was injured when two bikers allegedly accosted him, alleging that he was blocking the road and extorting money from a mini-truck. The incident took place on Saturday evening at the Amratala-Armenian Street intersection near Burrabazar. Haldar had to be taken to a hospital.
Halder claimed that he was assaulted as he had stopped the bikers from taking a left turn to allow other vehicles to pass. The police are probing both allegations.
