Three Brothers Die in High-Speed Motorcycle Crash During Social Media Stunt in Madhya Pradesh

On April 14 in Mauganj district, Madhya Pradesh, three brothers—Uplaksh Kol, Amrish Kol, and Hemraj Kol—died in a high-speed motorcycle crash while performing stunts for a social media video. The riders, traveling at excessive speed and overtaking vehicles, lost control and collided with a trailer loaded with bricks. Two friends following on another motorcycle to film the stunt were injured. Police cited rash driving, overspeeding, and reckless behavior as causes and recovered a country-made pistol from the scene.
