# 86-year-old killed by car during evening walk in Kolkata 2026-08-09T13:53:20+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet An 86-year-old man died in the early hours of Wednesday after being hit by a car during his evening walk inside the Uniworld City residential complex in New Town, Kolkata. Sribas Chandra Ojha was walking with an attendant when the car, allegedly driven by a woman who runs a shop at the adjoining Downtown Mall, struck him and three others around 6.45 pm, Hindustan Times reports. Ojha's son-in-law removed a denture lodged in his airway before rushing him to hospital, but a CT scan showed brain bleeding and he died later. Three others were injured, including the attendant with a fractured shoulder and a youth with a skull fracture now in ICU. Police have filed a case of negligent driving and are investigating whether the driver had a valid licence. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: elderly, Kolkata, negligent driving, New Town, road accident, traffic safety Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/86-year-old-killed-by-car-during-evening-walk-in-kolkata/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
