The deceased has been identified as Parthiban. He was riding his neighbour’s bike without helmet. He didn’t have a driver’s license too. The police said the mishap happened on the Indiranagar incline of the flyover around 3.45 pm.
When he was taking a U-turn, he lost control of the bike and hit the parapet and tumbled down, the police said. “He sustained severe injuries on his chest and head,” said a senior cop. Despite the fact that his parents guarantee he was turning 18 this year, the police are yet to confirm his legal age and are suspecting him to be a minor.
A couple of passers-by rushed him to Manipal Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The Halasuru traffic police have registered a case of accidental death due to rash and negligent driving.
