On November 9, 2025 at 1.30 pm, Advocate Panchdev Pandey (age-35 years), village: Jamalpur, Panchayat: Daulatpur, Block: Koilwar Bhojpur, Bihar, was going to Bihta, Patna on their motorcycle with his son Suryadev Pandey (age: 4 years) and his family. He was attacked from behind by truck number: BR01G P5779 on PCC foundry road at Muhammadpur Bazaar, Koilwar, Bhojpur.
As a consequence, Suryadev Pandey, son of Panchdev Pandey, who fell was crushed to death by this truck.
Suman Pandey (32), his wife, is admitted in the intensive care unit since November 9, 2025 due to serious head injury.
A complaint has been made to Koilwar police station, Bhojpur. The information about the complaint to Koilwar police station was communicated to the Superintendent of Police, Bhojpur on November 9, 2025 through email but no action has been taken in this regard as yet. The Koilwar police station has not communicated the F.I.R. No. to the complianant so far. 
Subsequently, a complaint was filed online as well.
Subsequently, a complaint was filed online as well.
Due to total absence of any traffic system and CCTV system, the sand carrying trucks on Koilwar-Babura-Chhapra Road has killed some 500 villagers since Arrah–Chhapra Bridge over the Ganga river connecting Arrah in Bhojpur district to Chhapra in Saran district Setu) was opened for public use on June 11, 2017. The bridge provides a roadway link between the northern and southern parts of Bihar.
The ongoing loss of previous human lives create a compelling reason to constitute a judicial inquiry commission to ascertain the human cost of the Koilwar–Babura-Chhapra Road and Bridge and the indiscriminate and myopic road widening without any scientific study of the carrying capacity of this stretch of the road. The hurried pte-election inauguration of the bridge and the commencement of the widened roads without robust traffic system and CCTV is taking it's toll. The overwhelming influence of sand mining firms who seem to be bigger than the state government has ensured that the dust of sand is being moistened and settled by the blood of innocent lives of the residents living and travelling on the Koilwar–Babura-Chhapra Road and the Ganga Bridge with no solution in sight.
Francis Buchanan has mentioned in ‘Shahabad Journal’ (1812-1813) that he had traveled “by a very good road with brick bridges from Koilwar to Ara”. If he were around his travel on the killer Koilwar- Babura-Chhapra road could have met the bloody fate of the advocate's family.
