What’s inside:
A young man was killed in a road accident in Gaya, leading to protests from villagers demanding action against speeding vehicles.
On Wednesday morning, a tragic accident took place on the Gaya-Bodhgaya River Side Road. A 19-year-old boy named Mantu Kumar, who lived in Kendua village, was crossing the road when a speeding vehicle hit him hard, causing severe injuries. Unfortunately, he lost his life shortly after.
Mantu had stepped out of his home early in the morning to relieve himself when the accident occurred. His family shared that he was still in darkness when he went outside. The impact of the vehicle was so strong that he fell on the road and suffered greatly before passing away.
The local villagers were very upset about this incident. They blocked the road in the afternoon by placing Mantu’s body in the middle of it, demanding justice. They claimed that this road is often used by fast-moving trucks and tractors, particularly from the sand mafia, and that such accidents happen frequently.
After about an hour of the roadblock, the police arrived at the scene. They spoke with the villagers and promised to provide compensation according to government rules. This assurance helped calm the situation, and the villagers agreed to clear the road.
The police have sent Mantu’s body for a post-mortem examination and are working on identifying the vehicle that caused the accident. The community is hoping that this incident will lead to stricter regulations on vehicle speeds to prevent future tragedies.
