Nagpur: Two bouncers lost their lives in a road accident when their bike skidded and hit a Nagpur Municipal Corporation’s (NMC) pipe on the roadside while they were returning home from work. The incident took place on Friday at around 3.45 am near Automotive Square under the jurisdiction of Yashodhara Nagar Police Station.
The deceased have been identified as Lawrence Samsung (32), a resident of Martin Nagar, Jaripatka and Shankar Pandhari Gudadhe (36), a resident of Mankapur.
According to police, the two had attended a programme in Yashodhara Nagar. After finishing their work, they were travelling from Vita Bhatti Square to Automotive Square on a two-wheeler. The NMC was in the process of laying a drinking water pipeline and made the road surface uneven. As the two passed through this stretch, their bike slipped, and they were thrown directly into a large pipe placed on the side of the road.
