A viral video has captured a heartbreaking moment in Khagaria, Bihar, where a young couple’s bridge brawl ended in both jumping into a swollen river. The husband and wife are still unaccounted for, sparking widespread concern and ongoing rescue missions.
Thursday evening saw the pair on the BP Mandal Bridge in Beldaur. What started as a domestic spat turned tragic when the woman hurled herself into the waters below. Her husband, confident in his swimming skills, followed suit to rescue her. Tragically, the river’s fierce flow swept them away.
Eyewitnesses wasted no time, calling emergency services via Dial 112. Police arrived swiftly, joined by curious onlookers. Despite extensive searches by Beldaur police until dusk, the couple evaded discovery. SDRF teams have been mobilized for professional underwater operations.
Married only six months, the duo’s families rushed to the site, begging officials for aid. Investigations point to a personal dispute as the trigger. ‘The video evidence is under review,’ police confirmed. ‘We’re committed to finding them alive.’
Such events underscore the urgent need for conflict resolution support in relationships and better safety measures on bridges over treacherous waters. The search continues around the clock, with hope flickering amid the despair.
