Zomato Delivery Rider Killed in High-Speed Collision with Hayabusa Bike

The Zomato delivery executive, Karthik, 42, from Bogadi, was on duty when the incident occurred. According to eyewitness accounts and the video footage, the Hayabusa, driven by 30-year-old Syed Saroon (also known as Shara) from Chamarajanagar, hit Karthik’s bike as he rode alongside the roadside. The force of the crash threw Karthik off his bike, and he died immediately due to severe head injuries.

After the collision, the Hayabusa continued forward for several meters before losing control and crashing into an electric pole. Following the impact, the bike caught fire—suspected to be caused by a fuel leak—leading to Syed suffering critical burn injuries. He was taken to KR Hospital but succumbed to his wounds.

Narasimharaja Traffic Police arrived at the scene promptly and have registered a case. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances that led to the accident to determine the exact sequence of events.

Separately, in Bengaluru, a 25-year-old delivery rider named Azhar Pasha died after being struck by a Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus near Mysuru Bank Circle. Pasha, who worked for an e-commerce company, was returning home from work when the collision took place. Witnesses claimed the bus was travelling at a high speed and the driver failed to notice the motorbike in time. Police have detained the bus driver and seized the vehicle as part of the ongoing investigation.
