Ghaziabad: Man Dies in Fatal Bike Accident near Shahpur Village

Ghaziabad, India – A tragic accident occurred on Monday night near Shahpur village, resulting in the death of a 40-year-old man. The victim, identified as Pramod Gupta, was riding his bike when it was hit by an unidentified vehicle. Unfortunately, Gupta was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, which may have contributed to the severity of his injuries.

The incident took place around 11pm, and passersby discovered Gupta’s body in a pool of blood. They immediately alerted the authorities, and a police team rushed Gupta to a nearby hospital. However, the doctors declared him dead on arrival.

Authorities suspect that the bike was hit from behind, but due to the lack of eyewitnesses and the poor lighting conditions on the road, the exact cause of the accident remains unknown. The Muradnagar police are currently reviewing CCTV footage from nearby areas to gather more information.

An FIR has been registered against unidentified persons under sections 279 (rash driving) and 304A (death due to negligence) of the Indian Penal Code. The police have also recovered the bike from the accident spot for further investigation.

This tragic incident highlights the importance of road safety measures, such as wearing helmets while riding motorcycles. Not only is it a legal requirement, but it also significantly reduces the risk of head injuries in case of an accident.
