When the accident occurred, Chauhan was riding a Kawasaki Ninja bike with four friends and trying to reach 300 kmph. However, he collided with the divider. The accident happened on the Yamuna Expressway at the 47-kilometre milestone.
Head injuries
Unfortunately, Chauhan sustained severe head injuries and passed away on the spot. Reports suggest that his helmet shattered upon impact with the divider, which may have contributed to the severity of his injuries.
Police have handed his body to the family. Additionally, no police complaint has been made by the family.
Dangerous Stunts
The police had taken strict action against such dangerous stunts and warned that anyone caught performing such acts would face legal consequences. This move is part of the government’s efforts to ensure road safety and prevent accidents caused by reckless driving.Â
