Hunt for bike thrills kills 2 in Noida
Two final-year MBA students of a Delhi institute were killed in the morning while racing on their high-power sports motorcycle.
The student riding the motorcycle, Sanjiv Raj (22), was killed on the spot after being thrown at least 15 metres as the bike hit a culvert.
Sanjiv was a resident of Inderpuri (west Delhi), where his father, Sanjiv Raj, is a car dealer. Amit’s father, R K Chopra, has a luggage business in Shakarpur, east Delhi.
Sector 39 police station chief Anil Samania said, "We learned that, at about 8 am, several motorcyclists were racing from Noida towards Greater Noida. About 5 km ahead of the Sector 125 campus of Amity University, Raj lost control of the Honda bike and hit the culvert on the side of the road near Sultanpur village. The bike flew off the expressway, near the underbridge there." The police rushed to the spot after getting a call from a passerby. By then, all the racers had disappeared.
A resident, who claimed to have seen the "race", said, "We saw some motorcyclists do stunts like riding with one wheel up in the air. "
On June 3 last year, TOI had reported that cars — a Lancer, a Safari and an Esteem — of three Delhi residents were seized by the police and the trio booked for rash and negligent driving. Police had then said at least 20 cars were in a race.
A police officer said, "People come from Delhi to race here, usually doing 47-km races — going back and forth on the 23.5-km expressway. The bikes used are often worth over Rs 15 lakh each. The racers have formed clubs, and keep changing their timings."
Meerut zone IG V K Gupta said, "I am instructing officials to take the strictest action against racers. It is a deadly game without rules."
