Mumbai Biker Riddhi Thakkar’s Family Alleges Organiser Lapses After Fatal Chhattisgarh Crash

Mumbai-based biker Riddhi Thakkar, 24, died in a road accident in Chhattisgarh on August 12. Her family is questioning the organizers of the bike ride, alleging lapses and mismanagement. A friend of Riddhi claims the organizers continued the ride even after two accidents occurred earlier during the journey. They also alleged that no ambulance or medical equipment was present to provide immediate assistance.

The accident happened on NH-30 near Markatola Ghat in Dhamtari district, where a speeding trailer hit Riddhi's motorcycle from behind. Riddhi's body was flown to Mumbai for last rites, held in Kandivali on Friday. The organizers had promised an ambulance and backup vehicle, but these arrangements were not made, allegedly leading to poor management.

Riddhi was participating in a 1,100-km Tiranga rally and was scheduled to return to Mumbai on August 18.
