Metro Briefs

Hospital fan falls

A patient of the state-run North Suburban Hospital, Cossipore, had a narrow escape when a ceiling fan fell on his bed on Friday afternoon. Police said Madhu Roy was lying on the floor when the fan crashed. The blades hit his head, causing minor injuries. Police said Madhu has been in hospital for the past 25 years. Hospital superintendent Sankar Ranjan Das said repairs would start shortly.

Guinness row

The Guinness Book of World Records could be banned in West Bengal if the company officials fail to attend court on June 28, Justice K.J. Sengupta of Calcutta High Court said on Friday. The judge was considering a petition filed by Salauddin Chowdhury, alias Salu Chowdhury, who set a world record by circling the globe in a car. Chowdhury alleged that the Guinness authorities deleted his name in the revised edition of the book, even after an earlier court order.
