Upon receiving reports of the accident, Dhula police swiftly arrived at the scene to take control of the situation. The wrecked vehicle was seized, and the bodies of the two deceased passengers were retrieved from the debris.

Their remains were later transported to Mangaldai Civil Hospital for a post-mortem examination. As of now, their identities remain undisclosed, pending further investigation and identification procedures.

Eyewitnesses described a harrowing scene, noting that the victims’ bodies were found hanging inside the severely damaged bus. Preliminary assessments by authorities suggest a high-impact collision, though the exact cause is still under investigation. Officials are now focused on reconstructing the sequence of events that led to the tragedy.
