In Athmalgola, Patna district, angry family members and villagers blocked the Bakhtiyarpur-Mokama four-lane highway for three hours after 22-year-old Aman Kumar, a resident of Surajpura village, went missing under suspicious circumstances on September 13. Hundreds of villagers accused the police of slow action and completely shut down the four-lane near Surajpura Mod around 12 PM. People from nearby villages also gathered in large numbers to protest.

The family stated that despite the youth's disappearance, the police have not yet found any concrete clues. The blockade lasted for about three hours, causing a traffic jam stretching several kilometers on both sides of the four-lane. Passengers and drivers were stranded for hours in the scorching sun and heat, facing significant inconvenience.

Upon receiving information about the road blockade and deteriorating situation, Athmalgola police, along with police from neighboring stations and senior administrative officials, arrived at the scene with a large police force. Initially, the agitated villagers insisted on the presence of senior police officials. After extensive discussions, officials managed to pacify the family and villagers. The police assured the grieving family that a special team has been formed to recover the youth and arrest those involved, with raids being conducted at potential locations. Following police assurances, the blockade was lifted around 3 PM. However, a tense and somber atmosphere continues to prevail in Surajpura village over Aman's disappearance.
