The driver’s identity has not been fully established. On the other hand, police seized two weapons from the bank.
They also retrieved a severely damaged vehicle submerged in the dam.
Investigators suspect the car lost control during the night. Besides, the vehicle appears to have plunged straight into the reservoir.

In addition, comparisons were drawn with earlier drowning cases reviewed by state leaders.
Local accounts referenced other Ranchi incidents handled by the district police.
