According to the reports, his bike hit the divider causing him to lose control and suffered a fatal accident. The accident was so intense that his helmet shattered, resulting in some very serious injuries on his head. Due to head injuries, he lost consciousness and died on the spot, despite the best efforts of emergency services.
 

As soon as police received the information about the accident, they rushed to the accident spot, where they found the YouTuber dead. The police sent the body to the Kailash Hospital in Jewar, Greater Noida, for post-mortem. After the post-mortem, the dead body was headed over to the family.

Investigating officer, Yogesh Kumar said that Chauhan was riding a Kawasaki Ninja bike with his four friends when his bike rammed into a divider.

One of his friends claims that it was a hit-and-run case, and he was hit by a speeding truck from behind. The police are trying to get a clue by examining the footage from CCTV cameras and Agastya's helmet camera, which was also damaged in the accident.

Chauhan, who belongs to Dehradun, has been booked under several IPC sections and the motor vehicle act for performing dangerous stunts on the city roads of Dehradun. He was also on the list of 12 bloggers identified by Dehradun traffic police for endangering public safety with their stunts.
