Two arrested in Patna for assaulting British couple camping on banks of river Ganga

This is the third case of attacks against foreign tourists to be reported in the last one month.

Weeks after a Swiss couple was brutally attacked in Uttar Pradesh, a British couple was allegedly thrashed and robbed by armed miscreants in Bihar. The two accused were arrested by Patna police.

The couple, who were on a 78-day journey from Haridwar to Howrah sailing on Ganga, was reportedly accosted by the two men on Sunday evening when they had stopped on an island near Pandarak in Patna district for a break.

“The youngsters tried to loot us and even misbehaved with my wife,” Matthew Kidd told The Telegraph. “However, we tried to save ourselves and reached a spot called Kalighat.”

The nearby villagers came to their rescue and helped them to file complaint with Pandarak police station. “The police prepared a sketch of the two attackers, following which they conducted raids in the area,” Senior Superintended of Police of Patna, Manu Mahajan told PTI. “Both the accused were traced and arrested from near the banks of the Ganges last [Sunday] night,” Maharaj said.

This is the third case of attacks against foreign tourists to be reported in the last one month.

Last week, a German tourist had claimed that he was attacked by a man at Robertsganj Railway Station in Uttar Pradesh’s Sonbhadra district for refusing to acknowledge his greetings. However, police had claimed that they were not convinced by the tourist’s version of the story and suggested that he may have triggered the confrontation.

On October 22, a Swiss couple was chased and attacked with stones and sticks by a group of five youths in Agra’s Fatehpur Sikri. The attack had left the couple with serious injuries.

On Sunday, an under construction four-lane bridge crumbled for the second time in a year in Bihar’s Bhagalpur, a video of the incident is now viral across social media. Earlier it was said no casualties reported but the recent update says a security guard assigned in the construction site has gone missing.

Kumar said the search operation by SDRF and NDRF teams is underway.

Sultanganj and Khagaria districts are connected by the bridge, which Chief Minister Nitish Kumar officially inaugurated in 2014. CM Kumar has ordered an investigation into the situation and promised to take strict action against the at-fault officials.

Numerous workers were reportedly on the bridge when one of its sections fell to immerse into the river. However, after hearing the news, district administration officials rushed to the collapse site.

Meanwhile, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has claimed, the collapse of a bridge was intentional due to serious design problems that were found by specialists.

Earlier in a press conference Yadav and Additional Chief Secretary Road Construction department Pratyay Amrit said, no casualties were reported and the choice to destroy the bridge was decided as a result of a section of it collapsed in 2022 during a thunderstorm.

Yadav added that in response, the government has hired researchers from IIT-Roorkee to examine the construction. He also mentioned that a number of vulnerable portions of the bridge, which is thought to have been constructed for an estimated cost of Rs 1,700 crore, have already been demolished because of structural issues.
