Mitra was taken to a nearby hospital where he was treated for minor injuries and discharged, they said. ''I am better now, though it was a close shave. I was on my way to attend a flower show in Belghoria area, but because of the traffic, I thought of riding the motorcycle to reach the venue quicker,'' Mitra told PTI when contacted.

Later, the Kamarhati MLA attended the function.
