The bike-borne men wanted to overtake the cars riding ahead of them, unaware that the truck was coming from the front. The collision resulted in the dumper truck to overturn on the motorcycle near Amilia Ghati.
This caused the two men to fall into a 20-feet-deep gorge after being hit by the truck. Enraged over the accident, an angry mob torched vehicles, leading to chaos in the area.
A 'chakka-jam' was staged at three places as protesting locals set afire five buses and three trucks. They also tried to enter a factory area, news ageny PTI reported.
The incident was captured on camera installed inside the truck, showing the truck driver driving the vehicle in a high speed and overturning after losing control.
