Just hours after a late-night two-wheeler accident left him with six stitches on his head and bruised arms, Std X student Mohammed Umar Ansari from St. Pius School in Mulund walked into his SSC Marathi exam hall on Monday morning, determined not to lose an academic year. 

The accident occurred close to midnight after the student, who had been revising throughout the day and observing Ramadan fast, stepped out briefly with friends when their bike skidded on debris.
