Kolkata Civic Volunteer Dies After E-Rickshaw Collision
Imagine a police helper named Nupur, who worked near a big government building.
One afternoon, while walking home, an electric rickshaw hit her.
Nupur was hurt very badly and sadly passed away.
The police have caught the driver.
Some people nearby are worried because they think these rickshaws are driven too fast and can be dangerous.
This is similar to another accident where an older woman was hit by one of these rickshaws in a different area.
The rickshaws are not always built to be safe, and the brakes sometimes don't work well, but they are often the only way for people to get around.
A Kolkata Police civic volunteer died after being hit by an e-rickshaw.
The incident occurred near Nabanna, the state secretariat, on Saturday afternoon.
The victim, Nupur Chattopadhayay, was 52 years old and succumbed to her injuries.
The e-rickshaw driver has been arrested by the police.
Local residents allege that e-rickshaw drivers often drive dangerously.
