The tragic death of a young man who was riding pillion behind a stunt biker in Delhi on Sunday, throws the spotlight on bikers performing stunts in the city.

While the incident has resulted in a simmering debate with the Delhi police claiming that they were aiming to puncture the bike tyre but hit the pillion rider by mistake, and the dead man’s mother is demanding that her son’s killers be hanged, the larger picture is the phenomenon of stunt bikers in the city.
