Legend has it that the police soon discovered that the recovered 
motorcycle was missing. It was later discovered at the scene of the 
accident, and brought back to the station. Suspecting that it had been 
taken by relatives of the deceased, they emptied the tank of petrol and 
removed the chain, but once again the vehicle disappeared and showed up 
at the accident spot.
Fearing occult forces, the police returned the bike to Om Singh’s 
family, who allegedly sold it to a man in Gujarat, but it soon 
reappeared at the site of the accident, 400 km away. The new owner 
apparently didn’t want it back after that.
Stories of the disappearing motorcycle spread like wildfire, and 
many people became convinced that both the Royal Enfield and its 
deceased rider were deities to be worshiped. They soon built a small 
temple at the site of the accident, with a shrine for Om Singh Rathore 
and a protective glass case for the bike. Nowadays, thousands of people 
from all over Rajasthan come to the Bullet Baba Temple to worship the 
unusual deities and ask for various favors.
