A devastating railway accident near Barh station in Patna has resulted in one death and left a man with life-altering injuries, casting a shadow over a family with four young children. In a separate incident, police in Bihta are investigating the murder of an unidentified man.
Tragic Mishap on Railway Tracks
The fatal accident occurred near Barh railway station, which falls under the Danapur railway division. Parvati Devi lost her life after being struck by a high-speed shuttle train while attempting to cross the tracks. She was accompanied by her husband, Dharmendra Kumar, a brick kiln worker.
In a desperate attempt to save his wife, Dharmendra also sustained grievous injuries. He suffered the traumatic amputation of one hand and a serious head injury. The couple, residents of Budhanichak, were reportedly on their way to a hospital for Dharmendra's medical treatment when the tragedy unfolded.
Family's Sole Earner Hospitalized
The aftermath of the accident leaves a family in peril. Dharmendra Kumar, identified as the sole breadwinner for the couple's four young children, was initially given first aid at the Barh sub-divisional hospital. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was subsequently referred to the Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) for advanced treatment. His condition and the future care of his children have become a major concern.
