Bike collisions in dimly-lit area claims one life; 2 injured

A 22-year-old youth died while two others were injured in an accident involving three motor-bikes in a dimly lit spot near Bandra Reclamation in the city.
The accident took place at around 9.45 pm last night, police said.
Abhijeet Gurav (22) and his friend Tushar Paage had ridden to Bandstand area as they wanted to see the Bollywood star Salman Khan's house. On the way back, Gurav stopped the bike on the northern side of Reclamation Point as Paage wanted to attend the nature's call.
Another bike, ridden by Zafar Sheikh, came from behind and hit Gurav, said a police officer.

The spot was poorly lit, he said.
Gurav sustained a grievous head injury and died in the hospital during treatment.

Sheikh's bike skidded after the collision and caught fire. He too was injured.
A few minutes later, another biker, Akash Rajput, skidded off the road when he applied brakes after seeing the accident scene.
He too was injured. Sheikh and Rajput, both college students, were admitted to the hospital for treatment.
Police registered a case of rash driving against Sheikh. Further probe is on.
