HYDERABAD: A youngster without a helmet on a high-end BMW bike was killed and his brother, who was riding it, injured after their two-wheeler rear-ended a car taking a U-turn in Madhapur on Saturday evening.
Speeding by the bike was the likely cause. While bike rider survived as he was wearing a helmet, the pillion-rider without it was not so lucky, police said.
Chaitanya Verma (22), who died, and his brother Ganesh Raju (24), are students of bachelor of business management in different colleges. They were heading to a drive-in for dinner when the accident happened at 6.45pm between Parvath Nagar and NIA office.
“They started their journey from home and the accident happened about a km from the drive-in restaurant. There was no fault of the car driver and it looks that the bike was speeding. The bike is of 500 cc,” sub-inspector K Rajendra told TOI.While Chaitanya was killed at the spot, Raju escaped with minor injuries as he was wearing a helmet. The brothers hail from East Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh and stay in Borabanda.
Based on the complaint by the car driver, a case was registered against the bike rider under IPC section 304 a (negligence causing death).
