Bhopal: A 26-year-old youth, Surendra Rajak, lost his life in a tragic road accident at Lalghati, Bhopal, while rushing to deliver life-saving medicine to his ailing father. The incident occurred on Wednesday evening and claimed Surendra’s life early Thursday during treatment.
Surendra, a resident of Malipura Peergate, worked at a jewellery shop and had been married just two months ago. His father, Kanchhedi Rajak, is seriously ill and admitted to Chirayu Hospital in Malipura. When the required heart-related injection was unavailable there, Surendra was directed to Chirayu Hospital in Bhainsakhedi to collect it.
In his urgency to return with the injection, Surendra took a shortcut and rode his bike on the wrong side of the Lalghati bridge. According to Koh-e-Fiza police station in-charge KG Shukla, a speeding Bullet motorcycle coming from the opposite direction collided with him. Surendra suffered a severe head injury and succumbed to it during treatment the next morning. Two youths on the Bullet were also injured.
The police have seized the Bullet and registered a case. Surendra’s body was handed over to the family after postmortem. Further investigation is underway.
