A woman police constable was killed and two other officers sustained serious injuries after a speeding SUV mowed them down during a vehicle checking drive in Patna in the early hours of Thursday (June 12, 2025). The vehicle involved in the incident bore a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) flag.
The incident took place at 12:30 a.m. on Atal Path under the jurisdiction of the S.K. Puri Police Station.
Three police officials were inspecting vehicle documents when the SUV rammed into them, killing constable Komal Kumari on the spot. A sub-inspector and an assistant sub-inspector were critically injured in the incident.
The deceased, 25-year-old Komal Kumari, hailed from Nalanda district and was attached to Dial 112, the emergency response unit of Bihar Police.
Komal’s mother, Ranju Devi, said her daughter was the family’s sole breadwinner among five daughters. “I received the call at around 2 a.m. from Patna that my daughter had met with an accident and she died. I do not have any earning member in the family; how will we survive now? I don’t have any son,” Ms. Devi said.
