Ghost Riders Of Jaipur

High speed & adrenaline rush is common in 21^st century.

The statistics of road accidents in past decade have been on a high scale with 1, 37,000 lives having been lost in 2013 alone. But does that stop the youth from doing stunts on roads? No, Not at all. Illegal bike racing and illegal stunt shows are very much the in-thing for the youth of Jaipur, mainly because of internet and viral videos on YouTube. We spoke to a bike racer in Jaipur. He told us the condition of anonymity about the rules and regulations and the venues of the stunts on the sly.

For some youngsters, illegal bike racing is also a source of income.

It takes place twice a month in, Malviyanagar, vidhyadharnagar and Jhotwara.

The bikers shuffle through the places and the race is sponsored by unknown people. The price money is decided based on the betspeople place on a particular race or racer. The racer told us that 10 deaths have caused by the illegal bike races since 2015 in Jaipur.But none of those deaths was attributed to racing. The biker also told us that bike modifications are a big business because of illegal racing. The garages for these kinds of works are located in Malviya Nagar and Ajmeri Gate areas.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     (Report By Nirbhay Kumar, Ajay Kasana, Aryan Malik)
