A 26-year-old youth, Ajay Kumar, died after being hit by a speeding motorcycle near a tempo stand in Devradh village, under the Kudra police station area of Kaimur district. Ajay, son of Mahendra Ram from Devradh Kala village, was reportedly talking to an acquaintance after parking his tempo at the Devradh tempo stand when a fast-moving bike struck him with great force.

The impact was so severe that Ajay was thrown a considerable distance on the road and sustained critical injuries. Local residents and family members immediately rushed him to the government hospital in Kudra. After initial treatment, doctors, recognizing the severity of his condition, referred him to Bhabua Sadar Hospital. At Bhabua Sadar Hospital, following further primary care, doctors again referred Ajay to a higher medical center. However, he succumbed to his injuries on the way to the higher center. The police have taken custody of the body and initiated legal proceedings.
