In a heart-wrenching incident, four individuals, including three Station House Officers and their driver, died after their vehicle collided with a truck on National Highway-31 near Bakhadda, Begusarai, Bihar. The officers, returning from a special training in Patna, were en route to their district stations when the fatal crash occurred under the Sahebpur Kamal police station's jurisdiction.
