Accident occurred while returning from a wedding ceremony
According to reports, all the young men were residents of Gamharia area in Jamshedpur and were returning from a wedding ceremony. Agni Besra, along with his friends Prithvi Sahadeva and Surjeet Sinku, were traveling in the Scorpio when their vehicle lost control and collided with the stationary truck. The impact was so forceful that the vehicle was completely destroyed, requiring considerable effort from locals and police to extricate the trapped occupants.

Family devastated by tragedy
Agni Besra was the son of Basco Besra, a BJP leader from Saraikela-Kharsawan district, and was pursuing an MBA. This accident has completely shattered the Besra family. Last August, their younger son, Anmol Besra, also died in a road accident. The family is in deep shock after losing their second son within seven months.
