Just like the brakes of a moving train, a similar accident happened in the under-construction tunnel of Patna Metro. In this accident that took place on Patna University route, one died on the spot, while six were taken to the hospital. Two of them died in the hospital. This accident occurred due to brake failure of the hydraulic loco used to transport goods. At the time of the accident, about 25 laborers were working in the tunnel near NIT turn on Ashok Rajpath. The workers created a ruckus after this accident, saying that no Patna Metro official was present at the time of work.
