Kolkata, Oct 18
Two youths died and three others sustained injuries after a car they were travelling in fell into a ravine near Kurseong in Darjeeling district of north Bengal on Saturday.
The deceased were identified as Sumit Singh of Naxalbari block and Rajesh Paswan of Kotia Jot. The injured — Raj Das and Tarak Biswas of Rathkhola, and Karan Thakur of Kotia Jot — were rescued and admitted to the hospital.
