Bengaluru: A young Bengaluru couple died after a gas tanker allegedly suffered a brake failure and rammed into their motorcycle near Goraguntepalya Junction on Thursday afternoon, June 11.
The deceased have been identified as Shabraj, 28 and his 24-year-old wife Shabreen, residents of Nagarabhavi. The couple was travelling on a KTM Duke motorcycle towards Yeshwanthpur when the accident occurred.
