Patna: A tragic road accident on the Chiraiyatand Bridge has left a family devastated after a six-year-old boy was killed by a speeding vehicle. The child, identified as Ayush Rajak, son of Satish Rajak of Shakuntala Committee Hall, was reportedly riding his bicycle to his grandmother’s home on Nala Road when he was struck from behind.
