Kolkata: Three persons killed in a tragic road accident at Raghunathganj in Murshidabad on Thursday morning.

On Thursday, a couple identified as Subha Mondal and Puja Mondal were riding a motorcycle towards Mirjapur in Raghunathganj. At the same time, a youth identified as Sandip Mondal was moving along the same road from Miejapur direction. While passing through the Dwipchar para area of Mirjapur both the motorcycles collided head on. As a result, all the riders fell down on the road bleeding profusely.

Local residents rushed them to a local hospital where Subha and Sandip were declared brought dead. Puja succumbed to her injuries later at the hospital.
