Dance India Dance 4 contestant, Biki Das, was injured in a road accident in Kolkata on Friday, June 4.

The accident took place at Jodhpur park on Friday at around 8 pm. People who witnessed the scene surrounded the police officer, made him pay for Biki's treatment, and rushed Biki to the hospital.

Zomato delivery officials have also filed a complaint at Lake Police Station against the cop. According to the same reports, the sergeant was suspended from duty and no significant work will be assigned to him. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown situation has taken a big toll on the entertainment industry, resulting in unemployment and financial difficulties for many actors, crew members and daily wage workers such as lightmen, makeup, production, and unit boys.
