The manager and bus driver of a private school were arrested after a tragic incident where a seven-year-old girl died by falling through a sizeable hole in the bus floor, police reported.
The family had previously raised complaints about the bus’s unsafe condition, but they were ignored by the school’s authorities and the driver, according to the family’s statement.
The incident occurred while the school bus was navigating a rural road in the Gangiri area. Following the family’s complaint lodged immediately after the tragedy, police arrested the school’s manager, Arvind Yadav, and the bus driver, Chandraprakash, on charges of criminal negligence. A probe into the incident is currently underway.
