Mumbai: A biker burned to death and another lay injured on a busy highway in Maharashtra after a collision, but passers-by stopped only to shoot videos of the horrific episode.
The accident happened on Thursday evening at Majalgaon Phata on NH 222 in Beed district. In the collision, both riders apparently lost consciousness. One of them got trapped under his wrecked bike, which caught fire, police said.
Finally, one of the victims, Nitin Ajaykumar Jaiswal (23), a resident of Juna Bajhar area of Majalgaon, was taken to hospital by a passer-by.
By the time the police arrived at the scene after being informed by the Majalgaon Rural Hospital, the other biker was charred beyond recognition.
His body was sent to Civil Hospital, Beed.
The stretch where the accident took place is uninhabited, and no water is available nearby, which could be a possible reason why no attempt was made to douse the fire, Sreedhar said.
"We are investigating how the bike caught fire. But the priority right now is to find out the charred person's identity and inform his family members," the SP added. The charred bike's number plate indicated that it was registered in Parbhani district, he said.
