In the Bareilly region of Uttar Pradesh, three individuals were murdered after their car crashed off the incomplete flyover into a river after Google Maps directed them to an unfinished bridge, according to authorities on Saturday.
India Today stated that the men were on their way from Gurugram to Bareilly to attend a wedding.
Using Google Maps to go to their location, their GPS directed them to the incomplete flyover.
The automobile plunged from a height of 50 feet into the Ramganga, a small river, while driving across the bridge.
Locals discovered three males dead inside their wrecked automobile on Sunday morning. As a result, the residents contacted the police, who came on the scene and removed the remains for a post-mortem examination.
“At 9:30 am today, a damaged car was found on the river Ramganga. Police were informed and arrived at the spot. When the police arrived, they saw a Wagon R, which was possibly hired as a taxi, on the river. The car went to the incomplete bridge and fell into a river from there,” police said.
“The bodies were found and taken for post-mortem. The identities of two people, Amit and Vivek, were confirmed. More details on the identity of the third one are being worked on,” police added.
The family members of the victims blamed the concerned officials for the incident and questioned why the bridge was unfinished, and no barricades were installed at one end of the structure.
They said that an FIR should be lodged against the construction department for alleged negligence.
