A tragic road accident on the Bhore-Mirganj main road in Gopalganj district on Wednesday morning claimed the life of a young man aspiring to join the Bihar Police. The victim, identified as Nitesh Kumar, son of Vinod Kumar from Jorawarpur village under Bhore police station, had both his legs severely crushed after being hit by an uncontrolled tractor-trolley. He succumbed to his injuries while being transported to Gorakhpur for advanced treatment.

Nitesh had dreamt of serving the country and state by joining the Bihar Police and was diligently preparing for the physical examination, running daily with his friends. On Wednesday morning, while running from Bantariya Mod towards Hussaipur with his companions, a speeding and uncontrolled tractor-trolley approached from behind and struck him near Tiwari Brothers' furniture shop. Nitesh fell onto the road, and the heavy wheel of the tractor-trolley ran over both his legs.

Following the accident, cries for help erupted at the scene. The tractor driver fled with the vehicle, while Nitesh's friends and locals rushed to his aid. With the help of villagers, a bleeding Nitesh was immediately taken to Bhore Referral Hospital. Doctors there provided first aid but, due to his critical condition and severe blood loss, referred him to Gorakhpur for better treatment. However, he passed away en route. Doctors at the Gorakhpur hospital declared him dead upon arrival. The news of Nitesh's death has plunged his family and the village into deep mourning.
