Kolkata: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Roopa Ganguly's son on Thursday rammed his car into the wall of an upscale south Kolkata club. He was allegedly driving in an inebriated state. Police sources said many people were nearly saved from being hit.

According to sources, the incident happened late on Thursday night when Akash Mukherjee, while taking a turn, rammed his black sedan into the wall of the club in the posh Golf Garden area. Locals claimed many people had a narrow escape as the vehicle was being driven at a breakneck speed. The car, with the driver trapped inside, crashed into the boundary wall, breaking a portion of it. There was no report of any injury as several people present at the spot scampered to safety on time, the sources told news agency PTI quoting eyewitnesses.
