Hyderabad: Youngsters were seen dangerously performing stunts on bikes on the Aramghar flyover in Hyderabad on Wednesday night, August 6. The incident came to light after videos surfaced on social media.
The youngsters are seen performing a “wheelie” and the commuters are seen distracted by the stunts. This is not the first time such antics have been carried out on the flyover.
Stunts claim lives of three youngsters on Aramghar flyover in Hyderabad
Earlier this year, on the occasion of Shab-e-Meraj, three minors, identified as 14-year-old Maaz, 16-year-old Imran, and 14-year-old Ahmed, were killed in a road accident on Aramghar flyover in Hyderabad.
The teenagers were riding a speeding two-wheeler from the Old City toward Aramghar between 12:30 am and 1:00 am.
Their joyride on the four-kilometer-long Aramghar to Zoo Park flyover ended in disaster when their vehicle lost control and crashed into a streetlight pole and the divider.
