In a horrifying accident in New Delhi, a 24-year-old man died after he lost control of his sports bike and slammed into a wall near the Mandi House metro station in Central Delhi. The victim is identified as Himanshu Bansal. He was killed when his sports bike worth over Rs 5 lakh allegedly crashed into a pillar near Mandi House metro station, three hours prior to Independence Day celebrations.

The accident was however captured by the helmet camera wearing by one of his friends riding behind him. The accident spot was found with the damaged Benelli TNT 600i motorbike, pieces of glass and blood splattered on the road.

Himanshu was allegedly racing with his friends, Gazi and Lakshya when all this happened. A senior police officer privy to the investigation said the incident occurred while Himanshu was racing with his friends, Gazi and Lakshay.

The entire sequence of events was captured in a video shot through Lakshay’s helmet camera. The chilling footage showed Himanshu speeding ahead of his two friends on his Benelli TNT, a superbike capable of rapid acceleration and achieving speeds close to 200 km per hour. While Gazi and Lakshay slowed down for an auto-rickshaw that emerged before them at one occasion, the victim raced ahead.

Himanshu Bansal is a resident of Vivek Vihar phase two. The deceased and his father were in a business and owned a factory that manufactured utensils at Jhilmil. According to police, a PCR call was received around 9 pm reporting that a man on a sports bike had crashed into a pillar near gate number two of Mandi House metro station.
