"It is saddening the little girl succumbed to her injuries on Friday night. I would like to point out that kids should not be made to sit in front on the bikes. Both the victims were without safety gears in this case," said Chinmoy Biswal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South-East).

In the statement recorded by the police, the victim had alleged that a Chinese 'manja' (string used to fly kites) got stuck in his neck following which he lost control and his bike hit the divider and they fell down from the flyover. However, the police have not found anything from the spot.
