A man riding a bike died on Sunday while allegedly trying to escape a routine traffic check, police said.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred in the Balanagar area when the 35-year-old man, a carpenter, was stopped by the traffic police for a routine check.<\/p>\n
The biker attempted to flee but lost control, skidding and falling onto the road. A bus, coming from behind, ran over him, and he died on the spot, police said.<\/p>\n
Following the incident, local residents held a protest, blocking the road and blaming a traffic constable for the accident, accusing him of negligence.<\/p>\n
The protesters also alleged that the constable was drunk.<\/p>\n
Police said they reviewed CCTV footage, which revealed that the bike rider himself had skidded.<\/p>\n
A case was filed against the traffic constable at the Balanagar police station following a complaint by the man’s brother.<\/p>\n
Further investigation is underway.<\/p>\n
