According to police, the trio was heading from Chandrayangutta towards Aramgarh junction. When they reached the stretch near the Mailardevpally police station, Qamaruddin, who was riding the scooter and had a prosthetic hand, lost control of the vehicle, following which all three of them fell on the road.
