Paliwal had already started shooting a documentary on her motorbike journey across the country – a journey that was cut short by the tragic accident.

The post-mortem was conducted by a team of four doctors at the Vidisha district hospital Tuesday morning. And then it hit me: I had met Veenu Paliwal just a couple of months ago, at the Indian Bike Week in Goa. “But an autopsy has found that Veenu Paliwal died as her liver was badly damaged in the accident”. Rani since she was the only female biker in Jaipur, that too one driving a Harley Davidson.

Veenu’s inspiration for bikes came from her father’s pictures that depict him riding a Yezdi Rajdoot. After her marriage, her husband wanted her to leave the bikes, but she couldn’t. The 5 feet, 8 inches tall Vennu flexed her arm muscles, looked straight into my phone camera’s lense and shot back, “we also have muscle power”.

Paliwal had a love and passion for bikes since her college days.

Veenu Paliwal is a famous woman known for bike riding especially her Harley Davidson bikes at 180 Kilometers per hour.
