The matter pertains to the Hirapur market area falling under the jurisdiction of the Hanswar police station in Ambedkar Nagar, UP. The victim was identified as a native of Barhi Aidilpur in the Hanswar police station area. The 17-year-old victim was studying at Ramraji Inter College in Haripur.
Notably, the reports that emerged initially said that the deceased was returning from her school on her bicycle. Suddenly a speeding bike approaching from Tanda town in Ambedkar Nagar district collided with her cycle in the Hirapur market area, killing her instantly. The bystanders quickly caught hold of the biker and handed him over to the police. The police took him into custody and also impounded his bike.
Later, CCTV footage from the area emerged, revealing what had truly occurred. The video, which has now gone viral on social media, clearly shows the deceased schoolgirl and one of her friends, who were in their school uniforms, riding back on their respective cycles. They are spotted riding on the left side of the road when suddenly, a speeding bike approaches them from behind. The pillion rider grabs the victim’s dupatta and then the bike speeds away. The girl loses her balance as a result of the impact, and her cycle drifts to the middle of the road. At that very instance, another bike coming from behind collides with the girl’s cycle and she falls on the road. It was reported that the girl died on the spot.
