Children Caught Tampering with Newly Built Double-Decker Flyover in Patna
Incident at Patna's New Flyover
A peculiar video has surfaced online shortly after the inauguration of Bihar's first double-decker flyover. The footage shows a group of young children attempting to steal nuts and bolts from the recently constructed bridge in Patna. In the viral clip, four to five children can be seen unscrewing parts of the newly opened structure.
Captured by a bystander, the video reveals the children caught in the act during daylight hours. They fled the scene when the man confronted them, exclaiming, 'Tum log chori karna chalu kar diya?' which translates to 'Have you all started stealing?' The video clearly illustrates their actions of tampering with the bridge.
