In a shocking incident from Bihar’s Khagaria district, a husband and wife, locked in a heated argument, took a fatal plunge into a raging river from a bridge late Thursday evening. The dramatic moment, captured on video, has since gone viral on social media, leaving locals stunned.
The tragedy unfolded on the BP Mandal Bridge over NH 107 in the Beldaur police station area. Eyewitnesses report that the couple’s quarrel escalated quickly. The wife jumped first, prompting her husband, Rupesh, who knew how to swim, to leap in after her in a desperate bid to save her. But the river’s swift currents proved too powerful, and both remain missing despite frantic search efforts.
Locals who saw the couple arguing on the bridge immediately alerted Dial 112. A large crowd gathered as police rushed to the scene. Search operations continued late into the night, but no trace was found. Authorities have now informed the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) for advanced rescue operations.
The couple had married just six months ago, adding to the heartbreak felt by their families who arrived pleading for help. Beldaur police are investigating the domestic dispute that led to this extreme step. ‘We are probing the matter thoroughly,’ a police official stated. ‘Rescue teams are on high alert, and we hope to locate them soon.’
This incident highlights the dangers of unresolved marital conflicts and the perils of fast-flowing rivers in the region. As searches intensify, the community holds its breath for any news of the missing pair.
