Actor-turned-BJP MP Roopa Ganguly’s son sent to one-day police custody for allegedly crashing his car into the boundary wall of Royal Calcutta Golf Club in south Kolkata. Reports suggest Akash Mukhopadhyay, 20, was drunk. On Thursday, actress son allegedly rammed his car, which lead to the collapse of the wall. Soon after the accident took place, officers from Jadavpur Police Station reached the spot and arrested him. The car that he was driving was also seized by the officers. According to Kolkata Traffic department, the car is on the name of Roopa Ganguly's name.
Soon after Roopa learnt about his son, Akash ramming the car, she took to social media and wrote, “My son has met with an accident near my residence. I called pleolice to take care of it with all legal implications. No favours or politics please. I love my son and will take care of him but, law should take its own course."

PTI report suggests, West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh Friday accused Trinamool Congress of trying to politicise the accident of Roopa Ganguly’s son and warned that if police tried to implicate him in false cases then BJP too would legally engage itself into it. Gosh told a section of media, “There has been an accident. Roopadi herself had called the police. The law will take its own course we have nothing to say about it. We just want to say that the matter should not be politicized. We have not sought any special privileges,”
Earlier, TMC councillor Archana Dasgupta had said, “There are kid who stay here on the streets. They play here. It could have caused a major accident. He was drunk when he was rescued. He has history of reckless driving.”
“On Friday, Mukerjee was produced before the Alipore court.
Kolkata Police prayed for police custody and opposed his bail petition. The
police prosecutor told the court that police custody is necessary to find the
intent of Mukherjee. He also said the reason is yet to be known behind him
driving the car recklessly. Mukerjee will be produced before the court again on
Saturday,” a DNA report states.
