Key Witness Injured, Son Killed in Crash
A man named Bholanath Ghosh, who is a key witness in some important cases, was badly hurt in a car accident.
His younger son and the car driver died in the accident.
They were on their way to court when a truck hit their car very hard and pushed it into some water.
The truck driver ran away.
Some people think this was not an accident but a planned attack to hurt Ghosh.
The cases are related to a powerful local leader named Sheikh Shahjahan, who is in jail.
Shahjahan is accused of many bad things like taking people's land and making money unfairly.
The police are looking into what happened.
