Doing more than 100kmph on a sports bike has cost a 24-year-old student from Mulund his life and left his best friend with a fractured leg. The 24-year-old has been identified as Rahul Kamble, the son of a cop and a resident of Mulund Police line, while the friend is Mohit Kamble, 22, his college mate.
Rahul and Mohit had set out on a ride on the latter&rsquo;s KTM sports bike around 5.30 pm from Mulund on Friday. Rahul had requested Mohit to let him ride the bike for a while.

&ldquo;Rahul loved bikes, so I let him ride and sat pillion. We first went to Sarvoday Nagar in Mulund West and then to Nahur,&rdquo; said Mohit. &ldquo;Later, Rahul tried to call another friend, Vishal, but couldn&rsquo;t get through to him on the phone, so we decided to return home.&rdquo; While returning, Rahul decided to speed. &ldquo;He told me to set a timer and that he would ride at 100 kmph and see how long we would take to reach Mulund,&rdquo; Mohit said. &ldquo;As the speed increased, I got scared and repeatedly requested him to slow down, but, he didn&rsquo;t pay any attention,&rdquo; said Mohit.
The two then went towards Mulund on the Goregaon Link Road and reached the Eastern Expressway. As soon as he crossed the Mulund-Airoli Bridge, Rahul lost control over the bike and hit a divider. According to eyewitness statements to the cops, &ldquo;Both riders were flung around 10-15 feet in the air and slammed to the ground.&rdquo; Both were taken to Veer Savarkar Hospital in Mulund and later to Fortis Hospital, where Rahul succumbed to his injuries.&ldquo;Rahul was a third year commerce student while Mohit is in the second year of the same course. They used to travel together,&rdquo; said a police officer from Navghar Police station.
