Hit and run case: Kolkata Police constitute SIT to probe incident that killed Air Force officer

Kolkata Police have constituted a 22-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the hit and run case, which claimed Airman Corporal Abhimanyu Gaud's life.

The SIT will be headed by the Deputy Commissioner of Detective Department II, Nagendra Tripathi.

On Thursday, Kolkata Police issued look out notices for the three - Mohammad Sohrab, who is a TMC leader, and his two sons - Ambia and Sambia.

The police, while carrying out raids at their several houses, offices and hotel, seized the passport of Sambia.

While the police maintain that there was more than one person inside the car when the accident took place, the Indian Air Force spokesperson went on record to say that there was just one person inside the car.

Over 48 hours have passed since the incident took place but the police have not been able to make any arrests so far. The alleged accused Ambia Sohrab, his brother Sambia and father Mohammad Sohrab continue to be at large.

While Ambia's residence is just two steps away from the Jorasanko Police Station, police failed to nab him. Meanwhile, the police are carrying out raids across the city to nab the accused.
