RI-BHOI: Two youths hailing from Assam's Moranhat tragically lost their lives in a road accident in Meghalaya on Sunday.

The deceased youths have been identified as Nilutpal Dowari (23) and Gargee Chutia (21), who were traveling on a Royal Enfield Himalayan bearing registration number AS 01 FF 3367.

They were heading to Shillong when Dowari, who was riding the two-wheeler, tried to overtake a truck with registration number AS 01 RC 0413 while navigating a sharp curve.
