A 17-year-old boy was killed while his friend sustained severe injuries after the scooter they were riding on rammed into a stationary truck, police said today.
The incident took place last afternoon on the Kota Chambal hanging bridge, said Srichand Singh, Circle In-Charge (CI), Kunhari police station.
The two boys, Muktak Jain and his friend Sanjay Jain, went to see the recently inaugurated bridge.

The two sustained severe injuries and were rushed to a private hospital where Muktak succumbed to injuries during treatment late in the evening, he said.
Sanjay is undergoing treatment, he said.
The body was handed over to the family members after the postmortem this morning, Singh said.
The police have lodged a case under relevant sections against the truck driver, who has been arrested, and have seized the vehicle, Singh said.
