Pune:  An illegally constructed speed breaker - no prior permission of the traffic police branch was taken and it also violated the norms laid down by the Indian Road Congress (IRC) - claimed the life of a young man in Sahakar Nagar.

The deceased was identified as Sanjay Bhoite (32), a resident of Laxmi Nagar. A case of rash and negligent driving was registered against his friend Sanchit Motekar (29), who was injured in the accident. Police constable S B Shinde from the Sahakar Nagar police station lodged the complaint in this regard.

Triple-seat on bike

In the complaint, Shinde stated: "Motekar was riding the bike in a rash manner and was at high speed; the bikers were going triple-seat. Motekar was going to drop Bhoite at his relative's place and on the way their bike slipped due to the height of the speed breaker.
