Two Separate Road Tragedies Sweep Through Gopalganj and Siwan Districts

Patna, November 10 – Bihar witnessed two devastating road accidents within a span of 24 hours, affecting both Gopalganj and the neighboring Siwan districts.

In Gopalganj’s Siddhwalia village, part of the Mohammadpur police area, an unknown vehicle plowed into a motorcycle on Monday night. The crash killed newly‑wedded residents Akshay Ram and his wife Pushpa Devi, who had been married for less than a year. Police arrived quickly, recovered the bodies and dispatched them to Sadar Hospital for post‑mortem examination. Families and villagers gathered, expressing deep grief over the loss.

A day earlier, in Siwan’s Muzzafill police jurisdiction near Jhulpur village, two motorcycles met head‑on, resulting in the deaths of three young men – Mukesh Mahato, Golu Kumar, and Sanish Kumar – while two others were injured. The victims were returning from Siwan with friends when the collision occurred.

Authorities in both districts have opened investigations. In Gopalganj, detectives are working to identify the driver of the unidentified vehicle and to ascertain the cause of the impact. In Siwan, police are reconstructing the accident dynamics and questioning witnesses to piece together how the two bikes collided.

These twin tragedies have reignited calls for stricter traffic enforcement, better road infrastructure, and heightened awareness among rural commuters throughout Bihar.
