According to Bengali news portal Sangbad Pratidin, Mitra did not receive any critical injury and was given first aid at a private hospital. He was later discharged from the hospital.
The report said that due to traffic congestion, Mitra opted to take his bike, instead of his car, to attend a flower show on BT Road. The accident happened after due to some confusion, his bike had a head on collision with a lorry.
Mitra landed in controversy on Thursday after a video went viral on social media wherein he could be seen tearing and throwing a lotus on floor. While doing so, he purportedly stated that West Bengal will no longer offer lotus to Goddess Durga because it is the BJP’s party symbol.
