The incident took place around 3.30am near the Wadi Bunder turn on the Freeway. Incidentally, two-wheelers are not allowed on the Freeway.
Raheem Agha (25), who was flung about 30ft down to the road, and rider Ramzan Shaikh (23) died on the spot, while their 16-year-old friend, Rajesh Achrekar, is being treated at St George Hospital. The Dongri police are waiting for the final autopsy report to establish if the boys were drunk.
"Five boys from Pydhonie went to meet their friends in Chembur. Around 3am, on their way home, they took the Freeway. Three boys were on one bike, while their two friends were riding the other motorcycle. Both the riders were speeding. As they approached the Wadi Bunder junction, Shaikh lost control at the sharp turn and rode into the 4-5 ft security wall," said a police officer. Assistant sub-inspector Dilip Katkar who registered the complaint, said, "On reaching the spot after receiving a call from the control room about an accident, I saw a few people carrying the injured boy into an auto. We rushed him to St George Hospital. Later, I spoke to Aakash Sawant (19), one of the other boys, who told me that all of them were returning from Chembur. He also said Shaikh was going at a high speed."
It was Sawant who narrated to Katkar how Agha's body was thrown into the air and fell around 30ft below the flyover. Rakesh Singh, a pavement dweller, told TOI, "I was asleep under the flyover when I heard a loud thud and woke up. Seeing several people gathered on the road, I ran to the spot. I was shocked to the see the bleeding body of a youth. The back of his head was crushed and his chest and stomach were torn apart."
Achrekar, who is being treated at St George Hospital, has a severe head injury and a fractured skull. "He is in a semi-conscious state but fortunately, he does not have a brain injury," said Dr Jagdish Bhavani, medical superintendent, St George Hospital. "Besides several deep bruises all over his body, he has metal pieces lodged beneath the skin that will need surgery. He may also need plastic surgery for the deep bruises. His liver is damaged," said Bhavani, adding the doctors were constantly monitoring Achrekar's condition in the ICU.
Pillion rider thrown 30 feet down below from Freeway
The bikers who were killed in an accident on the Freeway on Sunday were reportedly speeding and were on the elevated corridor illegally as two wheelers are banned on it.
"Five boys from Pydhonie went to meet their friends in Chembur. Around 3am, on their way home, they took the Freeway through two-wheelers are not allowed to. Three boys were on one bike, while their two friends were on the other. They were speeding. As they approached the Wadi Bunder junction, Shaikh lost control at the sharp turn and rode into the 4-5 ft security wall," said a police officer.

Urging the police to deal with speed demons, especially those riding on prohibited stretches like J J flyover and Freeway, more strictly, Khar activist Aftab Siddiqui said, "The police should become more active. If they can catch the bikers—most of them do not wear helmets and don't carry papers—at their own localities before they start performing stunts, the cops can put a stop to the deaths."
