On April 29, Sonika was killed in a car accident. She was accompanied by Vikram Chatterjee, who was driving the car allegedly under the influence of alcohol and also sustained injuries in the accident. Vikram, however, denied that he was drunk.
However, he claimed that he was not drunk and the car was not over speeding. The accident happened on a south Kolkata street while they were returning from a party. After the accident, Sonika was rushed to a city hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. The actor himself sustained a head injury in the accident and was hospitalised.
According to the police, the car’s forensic report revealed its speed was between 95 to 115 km per hour a few seconds before the accident.
