Protests erupt outside Kasba Police station as 3 arrested in alleged Kolkata college gang rape
Three family members of a Patna civil judge died early on Monday after the car they were traveling in fell into a ditch in Bihar's Saharsa district on the Maheshkhunt-Purnia highway. Three others, including a judge, sustained injuries and are undergoing treatment at a private hospital in the district, police said.
Bakhtiyarpur police station officer Krishna Kumar said the accident took place at around 3 am on Monday when the driver lost control and rammed the vehicle into a ditch. He said the family was returning to their village Sardiha on Saharsa after his brother-in-law's pre-wedding ritual.
Civil Judge Praful Kumar Singh (45), his son Mayank (7) and nephew (6) are undergoing treatment at a private hospital, Kumar said. The judge was earlier posted in Banka district and took over the new assignment in Patna on June 9.
Police identified the dead as father Justice Ranjeet Kumar Singh (65) and his two uncles, Narad Prasad Singh (70) and Sachin Kumar Singh (55).
Kumar added that the bodies have been sent to Saharsa District Hospital for post-mortem.
