Crane crews hauled the white SUV out of the river as crowds gathered on the flyover. Bystanders guided the crane operator and helped adjust the vehicle to expedite removal. The Fortuner bore severe dents on its top and front, a stark testament to the impact.
Bablu Biswas's body was lifted from the water and transported to Purnea Medical College Hospital for a post‑mortem. Hospital staff are preparing the examination while police chain the scene.
The incident arrives amid scrutiny of a separate Kerala crash where a judge's son was charged after killing a scooter rider. That case has drawn national attention to vehicle safety and juvenile liability.
Purnea Police have opened an inquiry into the factors that led the SUV into the railing, and investigators will review available footage.
The post‑mortem will be conducted, with preliminary results to be released once the examination is complete.
