The BSF women team will exhibit their stunts and acrobatics on their 350cc Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycles. The all-woman squad has been named as ‘Seema Bhavani’ and have been selected from various combat ranks of the force.

The women daredevil bikers’ squad was raised by the country’s largest border guarding force last year, on the lines of their much-acclaimed male counterparts.
