A tragic road accident in Bihar’s Begusarai district claimed the lives of three serving police station chiefs and a driver late Friday night. The deceased officers—Sajan Kumar of Ratwara police station, Amarendra Gyanendra of Arar police station, and Neeraj Kumar of Belari police station—were returning to Madhepura after attending a one-day training programme in Patna.
