Bhopal: A 45-year-old doctor died after an unidentified vehicle allegedly hit his motorcycle in Madhya Pradesh's Maihar district on Saturday night. Police have launched an investigation to identify the vehicle and trace its driver.

According to police, the accident took place at around 9:30 pm when the doctor was travelling from Maihar towards his home in Atarhar, located in neighbouring Satna district. The collision left him seriously injured.
