Mohun Bagan & Mumbai FC fans pay their respects to deceased Bagan fan Soumya
A FEW FOOTBALL FANS lost their lives due to accidents on or following the Kolkata Derby and one among them was Soumyo Mukherjee, a Mohun Bagan fan. He lost his life in a bus accident while returning home after attending the Derby and at the Cooperage stadium on Wednesday night, fans of Mohun Bagan and Mumbai FC paid due respects in their own respective way.
This is how the Bagan fans remembered their beloved fellow-fan:
