The incident occurred at Ranchi’s Hatia dam under the Nagri police station limits late on Friday, they said.
“As we were informed, there were four people in the car. We have so far recovered the bodies of the driver of the car and two police personnel. One is still missing,” Hatia Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Pramod Mishra said.

The car was coming from Jamshedpur when the accident occurred, he said.
