A tragic bicycle stunt accident claimed the life of 16-year-old Neeraj Yadav near Ghodbunder Fort in Mira-Bhayandar. CCTV footage from a nearby shop captured the moment as Yadav, attempting a high-speed descent on a steep slope, lost control and crashed into a wall close to a house’s gate.
In the purported video of the incident that surfaced on social media, the exact moment Yadav hit the wall can be seen. As soon as he collided with the wall, he fell and lay motionless on the ground. Onlookers quickly rushed to assist him.
