The official added that to know if he was overspeeding, the surveillance camera footage has to be examined. “We have collected the footage and will be sending it to the concerned authorities to verify it. He was alone and did not have any pillion rider. It was a sports bike and he was wearing a helmet, that is why he did not receive any grave injuries,” the official said.
