High speed & adrenaline rush is common in 21st 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.
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)
