According to sources, both the friends — intermediate students at Chas-based Sahajanand College — were speeding towards Rajrappa Temple when the incident took place. Rajwar apparently lost control of the bike while trying to negotiate a turn at high speed.
Locals who gathered at the spot immediately informed the police and stopped a passing ambulance to ferry the injured.
