His sudden death has led to several discussions and questions surrounding the circumstances of the accident.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rathod was returning home after completing a shoot with the Village Boy team when his bike met with an accident near Haridham Gaushala. It is being reported that he died after his bike collided head-on with another motorcycle.<\/p>\n However, some people have raised questions about the circumstances of the accident. A video that has surfaced reportedly shows the body lying around 25 feet away from the bike. The other rider is said to have suffered an injury to his thigh.<\/p>\n No FIR has been registered by Rathod\u2019s family so far. Therefore, the police have not officially disclosed the identity of the other rider.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other rider reached hospital after accident<\/strong><\/p>\n The police\u2019s preliminary investigation into Chandan Rathod\u2019s accident indicates that two motorcycles collided head-on.
