Bike-borne ‘helmet-less’ youth killed in road mishap near Baug-e-Jamsheed school

Jamshedpur: A 28-year-old youth was killed on the spot as the bike he was riding was hit from behind by an unknown vehicle near Baug-e-Jamsheed school on Straight Mile Road on Sunday morning.

The victim, later identified as Akaash Jwala was coming from the Northern Town end towards Sakchi at about 9 am when the mishap took place.

The victim sustained grievous skull injuries as his head hit the road. A police party had, however, rescued the victim and rushed him to Tata Main Hospital, where the doctors on emergency duty declared him as brought dead.

A resident of Devnagar in Sidhgora locality of the city, the victim was returning home somewhere from Bistupur when the mishap took place. He was without a helmet.

OC, Bistupur thana, Vishnu Raut said, “We haven’t been able to ascertain the exact details of the accident. We are trying to collect CCTV footage so that the unknown vehicle responsible for the fatal mishap can be traced.”

The OC further stated that as the Sonari-Sakchi road which passes through Jubilee Park continues to be closed in view of Covid-19 pandemic, all the vehicle-riders have to pass through the Straight Mile Road, thereby making the road both congested and mishap-prone.

“As several vehicle-riders have to detour through the Straight Mile Road, the road through the Jubilee Park being closed, they tend to ride faster and recklessly, thus causing the mishaps,” said the OC.

Significantly, a huge amount of blood had drained out from the victim's head during about 15 minutes that he lay on the road before being rescued by the police.
