New Delhi, Aug 16: A 24-year-old man, returning home after planning an Independence Day bike ride with his friends, died after he lost control of his super bike and hit a wall in central Delhi.

The accident was captured on camera by his friend, riding behind him, who had a camera fixed to his helmet. Police said a distress call from the accident site, near the Mandi House metro station, was received at around 9pm on Monday, after which they reached the spot and found the damaged Benelli TNT 600i motorbike, pieces of glass and blood splattered on the road.

New Delhi DCP, BK Singh, said the injured Himanshu had been shifted to the nearby LNJP hospital by his friends. At the hospital, Himanshu succumbed to his injuries. Doctors told police that Himanshu had chest and face injuries.

During investigation, police learnt that Himanshu and his two friends, Lakshay and Gazi, had come to Connaught Place for a ride in the evening. Himanshu and Gazi were riding a Benelli TNT while Lakshya was in a Kawasaki Ninja bike. At around 8.45pm, they were returning home and had reached Mandi House. The three men were reportedly riding at a very high speed, police said suspecting they may have been racing.

“When the three reached Mandi House metro station, an elderly person was crossing the road. The speeding bike of Himanshu hit that person and lost control. It hit the wall of Lady Irwin college. Passersby helped the injured and sent him to a hospital. All this was recorded in the camera installed in Lakshay’s helmet,” said DCP Singh.

The three were members of a Super Bikers group and had come to Connaught Place for a discussion on Monday. Himanshu helped his father run their family business of manufacturing utensils at Jhilmil Colony in east Delhi.

“We have taken the footage from the helmet camera as evidence. In the camera recording, the deceased is seen speeding. They had planned a ride on Independence Day when the streets are usually free of traffic,” said an officer.
