In a video purportedly of an aftermath of the accident, two young men were seen lying on the bridge with a motorcycle next to them. Sumon Deb, additional superintendent of police in Munshiganj, said he heard that the accident had occurred between piers No. Only four days before the inauguration of the bridge, one police station had been opened at either end of the bridge – Padma Bridge North Police Station with Medinimandal and Kumarbhog at Mawa end in Munshiganj, and Padma Bridge North Police Station with East and West Naodoba at Zajira end in Shariatpur. Mostafizur Rahman, chief of Padma Bridge South police, said no accident occurred on his side of the bridge. Amir Hoissain, an inspector at Shibchar Police Station, said officers from the Padma Bridge police stations should have visited the scene.
