Guruswami, who suffered severe injuries, tragically passed away while en route to the hospital. The injured Govindaraju and local residents managed to apprehend Syed Aiman, who was responsible for the reckless riding, and handed him over to the police.

Notably, Syed Aiman had recently been released on bail after being arrested for a similar offense. In a video posted on social media last month, he was seen performing bike stunts without wearing a helmet on Nanjangudu and Mysore's Ring Road. Subsequently, the Siddharthanagar traffic police station in Mysore filed a complaint against him, leading to his arrest and subsequent release on bail. Shockingly, within just 20 days of the initial complaint, he was involved in the incident that claimed an innocent life. Following the tragic incident, the deceased's family filed a complaint at the Nanjangudu rural police station, leading to the registration of a case.
