Tragic Flyover Accident Claims Life of Nagpur Man, Fake Number Plate Investigation Underway
A 30-year-old man from Nagpur, identified as Nirankush Tiwari, tragically lost his life after a horrific accident on the Kalamna-Pardi flyover on Thursday night. The incident occurred when Tiwari, riding a Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle at high speed, lost control and fell approximately 30 feet from the elevated structure.
Details of the Fatal Crash
According to eyewitness accounts, Tiwari was traveling from the Wathoda area towards Kalamna when the accident happened. As he approached a sharp curve on the flyover, he was unable to negotiate the turn properly. The motorcycle veered from the left lane towards the right side, scraping against the bridge's barricade for nearly 50 feet before coming to a stop.
The impact caused significant damage to the right side of the motorcycle. Most tragically, Tiwari was thrown off the vehicle during this violent maneuver and fell onto the road below, suffering fatal injuries in the process.
Immediate Response and Medical Outcome
Bystanders who witnessed the accident immediately rushed to Tiwari's aid and transported him to Indira Gandhi Government Medical College and Hospital. Despite their swift actions, doctors at the hospital declared him brought dead on arrival. Preliminary investigations revealed that Tiwari was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, which likely contributed to the severity of his injuries from the substantial fall.
Investigation Uncovers Fake Registration Plate
The investigation took a significant turn when police discovered that the motorcycle involved in the accident bore a fake registration plate. The number on the plate actually belonged to another individual with the surname Tiwari, whose motorcycle was parked elsewhere when the incident occurred.
Police officials managed to trace the identity of the deceased biker using the motorcycle's chassis and engine numbers, along with a mobile phone recovered from the scene. Family members were contacted through this mobile number and hurried to both the police station and hospital, but by that time, Tiwari had already succumbed to his injuries.
Family Statements and Ongoing Probe
Relatives informed police that the motorcycle did not belong to Tiwari personally. They stated that he had borrowed it from a relative just a couple of days before the accident and had been riding it for two to three days prior to the fatal crash.
The motive behind affixing a fake number plate remains unclear at this stage. Investigating officers are exploring several possible reasons, including:
- Evasion of traffic regulations and fines
- Attempts to avoid detection for other violations
- Potential involvement in other undisclosed activities
Legal Proceedings and Future Actions
Pardi police initially registered the case as an accidental death. However, they plan to convert it into a cognizable offense once their thorough investigation is complete. This may include charges related to using a fictitious registration plate under relevant sections of the Motor Vehicle Act, adding a legal dimension to what initially appeared to be a straightforward traffic accident.
The investigation continues as authorities work to determine the full circumstances surrounding both the accident and the use of the fake registration plate on the motorcycle involved in this tragic incident.
