Noida: Pillion rider dies in hit-and-run, driver escapes
Ankur Bikash Borah, a 29-year-old engineer from Assam, lost his life after a hit-and-run in Noida's Sector 83 on Tuesday.
Borah was riding pillion on a bike taxi when the bike suddenly made a U-turn and an unidentified vehicle crashed into them near the Sector 83 Metro station.
The vehicle sped off right after the accident.
Police are checking CCTV footage
Borah suffered fatal head injuries, worsened by a poor-quality helmet, and died during treatment.
The bike taxi driver sustained injuries and was discharged.
Locals say the car—a Mahindra Thar with no number plates—escaped down a side road to avoid CCTV cameras.
Police are checking footage and waiting for Borah's family to file an official complaint before registering the case.
Borah had just moved to Noida for work; his last rites were held in Assam on Thursday.
Meanwhile, police have fined over 140 bike taxi drivers for helmet and document violations as part of ongoing safety checks.
