According to police sources, the deceased youth was identified as Samir Gayen, aged 20, a resident of Panchasayar in Kolkata. Around 1 am on Tuesday, he was riding the bike with another passenger. The bike was moving at a high speed along the Bagha Jatin flyover. After covering some distance, the rider lost control, leading to the accident. At the accident site, skid marks were visible, indicating that the bike had slipped. The front part of the bike was also damaged.
