A speeding biker claimed a life over the weekend. A youth riding along the city's death track, better known as Marine Drive, crashed into a 53-year-old Girgaum resident, who later succumbed to his injuries. According to reports, the victim was crossing the road near the Aquarium, when a bike rammed into him. The 21-year-old biker suffered minor injuries and the Marine Drive police arrested him. However, he managed to secure bail from the holiday court on personal bond.

Bikers need to reduce speed on long stretches of roads like the Marine Drive. There is an urgent need to book these speed devils, who ride the "sab chalta hai" wave and race on city streets as if they are on racing tracks. Cops should take strict measures to check speeding on along busy roads in the city, especially those like Marine Drive that are prone to accidents. Youths should be made to understand that little joy comes out of speeding in populated areas.
