None of the three teenagers, who were in an inebriated state when the accident took place, were wearing helmets. The motorcycle belongs to a man known to the deceased, and he will be booked soon for allowing a minor to ride it, said police.

To be sure, the deceased left home on Friday night after an altercation with his grandmother over “his bad habits”. “He borrowed the motorcycle from the owner, met his friends, consumed liquor, and went for a ride. Prima facie, it looks like the deceased did not see the parked truck and crashed into it. He died on the spot,” a police officer said, on anonymity.
