A student of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Nagpur was killed after an unidentified vehicle hit his motorcycle on a flyover in Maharashtra’s Nagpur district, police said on Sunday.
The incident occurred at Mihan flyover on Wardha Road around 9.30 pm on Saturday, an official said.
The victim, Anuj Pathak (22), a native of Uttarakhand, was a student at IIM. Pathak was riding his motorcycle when an unidentified vehicle hit the two-wheeler on the flyover, causing it to crash into the railing, the official said.
A passerby alerted the police, and the victim was found dead on the road, with the front portion of his motorcycle mangled, the official said.
A probe is underway to identify the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run.
An IIM official said that they have not issued a statement about the accident, because the victim was on his way for personal work on Saturday. On weekends the students are permitted to stay out.
The official also said that the family of the victim carried the body back home in Uttarakhand through air cargo. A condolence meeting was held on Sunday in the premises of the college for Anuj.
