BJP MP Roopa Ganguly's son held for rash driving

Kolkata: Actor-turned-BJP MP Roopa Ganguly's son has been arrested here for allegedly ramming his car into the wall of an upscale south Kolkata club, a senior police officer said on Friday.

Akash Mukherjee (21) was taken into custody following the incident around 9.15 pm on Thursday, he said.

"We have arrested him for rash driving and damaging properties. No casualty was reported in the accident.

His blood sample has been collected to check if it was a case of drunk driving, while the car will be sent for a forensic test," the senior officer said. Locals claimed that many people had a narrow escape as the four-wheeler was being driven at a breakneck speed.
