Greater Noida: The world of biking and adventure has lost a bright star; famed bike rider and Youtuber Agastya Chauhan (25) has left his fans in dismay after the biker met with an accident while riding his bike at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour (kmph). The incident occurred at the 47-kilometer milestone of the Yamuna Expressway while he was on his way from Agra to Delhi along with his friends.

Meanwhile, a Times of India report, quoting one of Agastya's friends, claimed the incident was a case of hit-and-run, with a truck ramming into Agastya's bike from behind. However, due to the absence of proper CCTV cameras, these allegations are yet to be confirmed. According to the report, the police are currently investigating the matter using CCTV footage and Agastya's helmet camera.
Upon receiving news of the accident, the Tappal police station of Aligarh district rushed to the scene and took custody of Agastya's body. The body was then sent to the mortuary of Kailash Hospital in Jewar, Greater Noida, for post-mortem.
