A software engineer tragically drowned in a deep, water-filled pit after his SUV crashed in dense fog. Despite desperate attempts to signal for help, rescue efforts were hampered by poor visibility and the pit’s depth. An FIR has been filed against the builders for negligence, highlighting a lack of safety measures at the construction site.

The petitioner had sought a directive mandating all courts resolve cases within a one-year timeframe.

The arrest triggered a political row, with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav accusing the Bihar government of failing to curb crimes against women and minors and of protecting criminals.
