How the speeding Audi of a TMC leader's son mows down an Air Force corporal
Kolkata, Jan 16 (IBNS) These exclusive CCTV images show how a speeding Audi driven by an alleged ruling TMC party leader's son hit AIF corporal Abhimanyu Gaud, while he was rehearsing for R-Day parade on Wednesday early morning in Kolkata's Red Road (Indira Gandhi Sarani).
An Audi Q-7 car, which was registered in the name of a company- Mussadi Business Pvt Ltd- owned by former RJD MLA and presently TMC leader Md. Sohrab's elder son Ambia Sohrab, allegedly broke police barricades at Red Road and hit Airman Abhimanyu Gaud on Wednesday early morning.
The airman, a 21-year-old Air Force drill instructor, was killed and the accused driver of the car is still absconding.
In Images:
1: Jawans were practising for upcoming R-Day parade at Red Road.
2: The killed Airman, Abhimanyu Gaud, just before hit by the car (Pointed in the image).
3: The killer white Audi Q-7 trying to escape after hitting Gaud (Pointed in the image).

According to reports, after committing the accident, the killer Audi tried to flee from the spot. Thereafter the accused driver parked his Audi at an area nearby, which was out of CCTV surveillance, on Kidderpore Road and escaped from the spot.
Before leaving the car, he tore off the temporary TC (Trade Certificate) number plates, which were attached in the vehicle.
West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has directed the police to arrest accused driver as soon as possible and to charge him under IPC section 302 (Murder).
The Kolkata Police have already set up a 22-member SIT (Special Investigation Team) to probe the matter. Besides the Kolkata Police, Army Police and Air Force Police have also started investigation into the matter separately, a spokesperson of Ministry of Defence (Bengal area) said.
However, more than three days after the incident, accused trio- Md Sohrab and his two sons- Ambia and Sambia Sohrab- are still absconding.
