Three students of Kashi Institute of Technology were injured on Monday evening when the Bullet motorcycle they were riding hit a private school signboard in Gaur village under Mirzamurad police station and threw them into a roadside field.

Police and local accounts name the riders as Ratan Kumar, Prateek Kumar and Shrestha. They were returning from the Nigtapur side toward Mirzamurad on a single Bullet when the bike went out of control near Gaur and struck the school board at the edge of the road. The impact was strong enough to fling all three about 30 metres into a field, witnesses told officers who reached the spot.

Mirzamurad police arranged first aid at a private hospital in Khajuri. Doctors there marked Shrestha’s condition as serious and referred him to the trauma centre at Banaras Hindu University for higher care. The other two students remained under treatment at the private facility. The damaged motorcycle was taken into police custody.

Some witnesses put the bike’s speed above 80–90 km/h and spoke of a hands-free stunt just before the crash. Those details remain witness claims at this stage, not a completed forensic finding. Police said legal process in the accident case was under way and that families had been informed.

Gaur sits on a busy rural connector used by institute students and village traffic alike. School boards and compound walls close to the asphalt leave little forgiveness when a heavy motorcycle arrives too fast. Monday’s crash fits a pattern local stations know well: three-up riding, evening light, and a sudden loss of control that turns a routine hop into a trauma referral.

No other vehicle was named as a colliding party in the initial police note. The immediate mechanical story is the Bullet versus the signboard, then the riders versus the field. How far stunt behaviour or simple speed played a role will depend on statements, any nearby camera, and the bike’s examination.

For Kashi Institute of Technology’s campus community the evening ended in hospital corridors rather than hostels. For Mirzamurad police the file opens as a road accident with injuries — one already escalated to BHU Trauma — and a seized motorcycle waiting for paperwork.

As of Monday night the station’s public line stayed factual: three students hurt after a Bullet hit a school signboard in Gaur, one referred for serious care, bike in custody, investigation continuing.

Hospital staff at Khajuri stabilised the less critical pair before shifting focus to the referral paperwork for Shrestha. Village residents who helped lift the injured said the field was muddy from earlier rain, which may have cushioned the fall but also slowed the carry to the road. Police measurement of skid marks and the angle of the broken signboard will shape whether the case stays a pure accident file or picks up reckless-driving language.
