In a tragic and unprecedented legal move, a 50-year-old businessman from Ahmedabad has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against his own deceased son. The action follows a fatal high-speed motorcycle accident that claimed the young man's life near the Gujarat University Ground.
A Father's Painful Legal Step
Nandlal Kalal, a resident of Vishwanagar Society in Jivraj Park and a travel business owner, took the solemn step of filing the police complaint after his 25-year-old son, Parth Kalal, died in a horrific crash. The incident occurred late on Monday night on the 132-ft Ring Road, close to the Gujarat University Ground gate.
The A Division traffic police officially registered the complaint. Nandlal Kalal informed the authorities that he had purchased a BMW G310RR motorcycle in 2022, which was primarily used by his younger son, Parth.
Chronology of a Late-Night Tragedy
The sequence of events began to unfold around midnight. Nandlal Kalal was near Thaltej when he received a call from his elder son, Jignesh. Jignesh informed him that Parth had been involved in a serious accident. Minutes before this call, an unidentified person had arrived at their home to report that a bike bearing their number plate had crashed near the university.
Jignesh accompanied this person to the accident site. Upon reaching, bystanders estimated that the crash had occurred between 10:30 pm and 10:45 pm. When Nandlal arrived, he found his son Parth lying on the road. The damaged BMW bike was nearby, smashed against the railing of the BRTS corridor.
Evidence Points to Reckless High Speed
According to the details in the FIR, Parth was travelling from the Andhjan Mandal crossroads towards Helmet Circle. His bike violently rammed into the BRTS railing. The impact was so severe that it threw him onto the road, resulting in catastrophic injuries, including the severing of his hand.
Investigators reviewed CCTV footage from Andhjan Mandal, which captured the BMW bike speeding through a red traffic signal. Two other vehicles were seen following it. The most damning evidence, however, came from the motorcycle itself.
Police checked the bike's digital display, which showed a last-recorded speed of 163 kmph. Officials have stated that the exact speed at the moment of impact will be verified by BMW technicians and the Regional Transport Office (RTO) for conclusive evidence.
The body of Parth Kalal was sent for a postmortem examination. The A Division traffic police are continuing their investigation into the precise causes and circumstances of the accident.
