How the Accident Occurred
Police investigations revealed that one motorcycle was traveling from Chausa block towards Kaimur district. At the same time, another motorcycle was approaching from the opposite direction. The first motorcycle was carrying three youths, all residents of Banarpur village, while the second motorcycle had two youths from Chandresh village in Kaimur district.
Near Rohinibhan village, one of the motorcycles reportedly lost balance. Within moments, both motorcycles collided head-on with great force. The impact was so severe that all riders were thrown several feet away from their vehicles. Both motorcycles were badly damaged in the collision.

Police later identified the deceased youths. Suryadev Singh of Banarpur village died at the accident site. The others who lost their lives during treatment were Ritesh Kumar, aged 23, son of Banshidhar Kushwaha, Saif Ali, aged 24, from Chandresh village, and Upendra Prajapati, aged 27, son of Dhanu Prajapati.
All four youths suffered serious head and internal injuries. The injured youth was identified as Rupesh Kumar, son of Nand Kishor Kushwaha, also from Banarpur village. Doctors stated that his condition remains critical and he is under constant medical observation.
