According to The Times Of India, the deceased was a delivery agent by profession. Initial investigation has revealed that the incident took place between 7.30 pm and 8 pm, when the biker and two of his friends were on a leisurely outing. 

The report says that the biker tried to speed to escape the car as it chased him. At one point, when he slowed down at a curve, his friends jumped or fell off the vehicle. When the car finally rammed the bike, only the deceased was on it. The crash tossed him into the air, causing him to hit an electricity pole and a building's compound wall. He was reportedly not wearing a helmet and thus sustained severe head injuries.
