Bihar Man Books Rs 26 Crore Bridge for a Birthday Bash – And Gets Arrested
In a bizarre incident, a man in Bihar, India, hosted a lavish birthday party with loud music and dancing on a railway overbridge that had been closed over safety concerns. The bridge, built at a cost of Rs 26.4 crore, had been closed to the public since June 5 after engineers detected structural defects. Despite the restrictions, videos from July 11 showed people gathering on the bridge for a celebration featuring a stage program. The organiser, Rakesh Kumar Singh, now faces legal trouble after an FIR was registered against him. The incident raised questions about security and enforcement failures, as authorities had declared the bridge unsafe for public use .
