Biker Riddhi Thakkar death: Avenger she was riding had brake issues, police to probe organisers

Mumbai biker Riddhi Thakkar, 24, died in a hit-and-run accident during a women's biking rally in Balod district, Chhattisgarh, on August 12. Police are investigating the organisers' role in the incident, as well as potential brake malfunctions on the Avenger she was riding. The Women Riders Club, which organised the inaugural rally, faced criticism on social media, with some questioning the club's responsibility.

Riddhi's father, Divyesh, expressed his family's grief but denied any responsibility, stating that their daughter was an experienced and skilled rider. Police have registered an FIR against an unidentified driver and are probing the organisers' actions.
