Bystanders who heard the crashing noise rushed to the spot and brought the couple out of the car, a Toyota Corolla Altis, which had been completely wrecked in the accident.

Sonika and Vikram were rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival around 5 am. Vikram, who reportedly sustained head injuries, was released from hospital initially but had to be admitted later when he complained of discomfort.

Sonika, a top city model, had been a part of many memorable ad shoots and had recently made a name for herself as emcee and sports anchor. Apart from Kolkata, she was also working out of Mumbai on various assignments.
