One of the prime witnesses in the cases against suspended Trinamool Congress leader Sheikh Shahjahan, was injured when a truck collided with his car in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district on Wednesday (December 10, 2025). The accident left two persons, including the son and driver of the witness Bholanath Ghosh, dead.
Mr. Ghosh had left his Sandeshkhali residence and was headed for Basirhat sub-divisional court to appear in connection with one of the many cases that Shahjahan, the jailed Trinamool Congress leader had filed against him. Bholanath Ghosh, who survived the accident, called it a “murder”.

Mr. Ghosh is witness in several cases against Mr. Shahjahan, which includes the attack on Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials in Sandeshkhali on January 5, 2024. “I was sitting next to the driver, and my son was seated behind him. The truck came and hit our car at full speed on its right side,” Mr. Ghosh said.
The accident occurred near a petrol pump under Nazat police station limits in the early hours on Wednesday. The 16-wheel truck dragged the private vehicle and dumped it into a water body adjacent to the road leaving Mr. Ghosh’s younger son, Satyajit (32), and the driver of his car, Sahanur Molla (27), dead.
