Vig SP shifts 2 accident victims to hospital

Berhampur: Superintendent of police (vigilance) Ganesh Pradhan on Tuesday turned good Samaritan by lending a helping hand to two accident victims at Karanjai chhak under Aska police station in Ganjam district and shifting them to hospital.
Sanjay Kumar Gupta (30) and his elder sister Shyamadevi Gupta (44) of Baunsalundi, Bhanjanagar, were going to Berhampur in a motorcycle around 7 am when their two-wheeler hit a roadside tree on National Highway 59. While passing by in his car, Pradhan noticed the duo lying on the road and shifted them to the sub-divisional hospital, Aska. He also asked police personnel to follow up on their treatment.
“While going to Phulbani to attend a meeting, I came to notice the accident victims crying for help. I stopped my vehicle and approached them. Without inquiring about their identities and waiting for an ambulance, we rushed them to the nearby hospital in Aska in my vehicle. After the doctors started their treatment and arrival of Aska police personnel, I proceeded towards Phulbani,” Pradhan said. Prasant Kumar Sahoo, inspector in-charge, Aska police station, said the injured duo were referred to MKCG Medical College and Hospital here after preliminary treatment. “While the condition of the woman was serious, her brother is out of danger,” he said.
“Preliminary inquiry revealed that due to sleeplessness, Sanjay dashed into the roadside tree. The SP (vigilance) shifted to Aska hospital,” the IIC said.
