ARA-----------------------------On Monday evening, an unidentified vehicle struck a motorcycle carrying a man and his sister-in-law near Yadopur village, within the jurisdiction of the Tiyar police station. The man died in the accident; he succumbed to his injuries while being transported to Patna for medical treatment. Meanwhile, his injured sister-in-law is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in the city.

According to reports, the deceased was Nitish Kumar (25), son of Vinod Sharma, a resident of Maniya Dehri village under the Sonvarsha police station area in Buxar district. He worked for a private company in Ludhiana, Punjab. The injured woman is his cousin's wife, Rima Devi (30), wife of Dhanesh Sharma, a resident of Uttardaha village in the Tiyar police station area.

The deceased's brother, Deepak Sharma, stated that Nitish was taking his cousin's wife, Rima Devi, to the home of his paternal aunt (fua), Kusum Devi, in Bihiya village (Bihiya police station area). Near Yadopur village, an unidentified vehicle rammed into their motorcycle, leaving both of them critically injured. Rima Devi is currently receiving treatment at a private hospital in the city.

Nitish, however, passed away en route while being transferred from Sadar Hospital to Patna for further treatment. His family subsequently brought his body back to Sadar Hospital. Upon receiving the information, the police arrived at the scene, took custody of the body, and arranged for a post-mortem examination at Sadar Hospital.

The deceased was the eldest of three brothers and one sister. He had been married on April 20 of this year. He is survived by his wife, Anjali Kumari, two brothers (Rajnish and Ashish), and a sister (Puja). The incident has plunged the family into deep grief; his wife, Anjali Kumari, and other family members are inconsolable.
