Three engineering students from Jahanabad were killed and seven others injured on Saturday, 7 November, when their auto-rickshaw collided with a harvester in Hulasganj police station area. The students were returning from a semester exam at Gaya Engineering College. The auto was speeding near Kandoul village when it hit the harvester and overturned.
Local residents pulled the injured out and police rushed them to Hulasganj community health centre, where the three, identified as Manjeet Kumar, Saurabh Kumar, and Aditya Raj, all from the 2024-28 batch of Jahanabad Engineering College, died during treatment. Critical patients have been sent to Sadar Hospital. Two of the seven injured remain in a serious condition.
Both bhaskar.com and amarujala.com report the same accident in near-identical straight-news language. Bhaskar.com leads with the number of deaths, the names of the deceased, and the fact that they were returning from an exam at Gaya Engineering College, while amarujala.com leads with the vehicle being stationary and the accident’s location, naming the college as Hulasganj Engineering College. Neither outlet adopts a government-critical, pro-government, or ideological stance, the coverage is uniform wire-style reporting. The minor difference in college name may reflect local reporting conventions rather than editorial choice. The story carries no next step beyond the fact that two injured students remain in a critical condition at Sadar Hospital.
