A speeding luxury car rammed into a guardrail near Kolkata’s Red Road on Saturday morning during Republic Day parade rehearsals, triggering security concerns in a high-alert zone, police said. According to police, the car was approaching the Red Road area at high speed when officers signalled it to stop. Instead of complying, the driver allegedly attempted to flee and crashed into the guardrail. Police said the vehicle has been seized and the driver detained for questioning. "The seized car did not have a valid insurance and pollution under control (PUC) certificate," he said.
