The collision was so violent that both riders were thrown high into the air before hitting the ground. Despite the immediate chaos, it was soon confirmed that neither survived the crash. Passersby rushed to the scene, but the severity of the impact had left little chance of survival.
Authorities have identified the deceased as 31-year-old Rohit and 42-year-old Subodh. Both were reportedly local residents. Police have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash, including whether it was a planned stunt or a reckless speed challenge gone wrong.
The fatal accident serves as a stark warning against dangerous riding practices, especially on unfinished or restricted roads. Officials have urged the public to avoid engaging in stunts on public infrastructure, stressing that thrill-seeking at such speeds can have irreversible consequences.
