On Hyderabad’s recent Islamic observances, fatal accidents involving youngsters on careless rides have taken place on flyovers in Hyderabad. During Shab-e-Meraj, three young boys—Maaz, 14; Imran, 16; and Ahmed, 14—perished in a speed-fueled bike accident along the Aramghar flyover in Hyderabad. Their ride lost balance and crashed against the streetlight post and divider.
