Joyride turns fatal after 17YO from BS Maktha sneaks out on RX-100, hits iron divider

Hyderabad: Shoaib, a resident of Maktha in Hyderabad, and his friend Aslan Bin Mohsin (12) took Aslan's father's bike without his knowledge and went on a joyride. Shoaib was driving the vehicle when they met with a gruesome accident. An iron divider pierced Shoaib's body, killing him on the spot.

The two boys were driving towards the Khairatabad traffic signal on an RX-100 bike when the accident took place.

"The two boys were driving from Raj Bhavan railway gate towards Khairatabad signal road. They tried to overtake another two-wheeler when Shoaib's bike handles collided with the other vehicle and he lost control of the bike. Shoaib hit a metal divider. He received several injuries on his chest and died on the spot. Aslan received minor injuries and is currently in the hospital," said Punjagutta inspector Niranjan Reddy.

The police have filed a case under Section 304A (causing death by negligence) as per a complaint received by Shoaib's father. A case has been filed against Aslan's father Mohsin Bin Ahmed who owns the vehicle.

"Shoaib's father said the accident would not have taken place if Mohsin had been careful and ensured that the bike hadn't fallen into the hands of the two minor boys," Mr. Niranjan said.
