Se­nior Mul­ti­me­dia Re­porter

Bar­rack­pore labour­er Habib John died a hero af­ter sav­ing pen­sion­er Ann Marie Co­dring­ton-Mitchell when a van ploughed in­to them as they walked along Rochard Road, Pe­nal.

He was es­cort­ing her home af­ter spend­ing time at a rel­a­tive’s house. Res­i­dents said this was the sec­ond fa­tal ac­ci­dent to have oc­curred in that spot in re­cent times.
