Hyderabad biker on Rs 25 lakh BMW Adventure dies in highway crash
Police are still probing the circumstances in which the accident involving Ritesh, a close relative of a prominent cement factory owner, occurred while he was riding a high-end BMW 1,300cc Adventure bike priced at over Rs 25 lakh. They all travelled together until Suryapet district, where they planned to take a break at a popular food court on the National Highway-65 after refuelling their bikes.
However, Ritesh, who had limited time to reach Hyderabad to board his flight to watch the India–Pakistan match, chose to continue alone,” Narketpalli circle inspector (CI) Nagaraju told TOI. Police attempted to retrieve it but were unsuccessful, so we have to seek the company’s assistance,” Chityal SI Ravi Kumar told TOI. The investigation is ongoing to ascertain the cause of death,” police said.
“While returning from Bapatla in Andhra Pradesh, Ritesh was part of a group of riders. “His family are confident that Ritesh was a trained biker with extensive international experience and was known for taking all necessary precautions and avoiding risks to his life. There are no CCTV cameras on the highway at the accident site. When enquiries were made with a few people near the spot, they stated that they had not seen any other vehicle on the road, apart from a motorcycle. Police noticed several metres of scratch marks on the road from where the bike had veered off before Ritesh suffered fatal injuries. He sustained multiple injuries, primarily to his head.
They suspect it could be a case of hit-and-run, according to the complaint lodged by the deceased’s family members.
