Now, Kerala Man Killed In BEST Bus Accident In Mumbai

Days after a Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) crash kiling 9 people in the crowded market in Kurla West, another such incident has come to light.

The BEST bus mowed down a pedestrian in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) area on Wednesday, PTI reported. The incident was caught on camera and the driver named Dnyandeo Jagdale has been arrested by the cops.

The victim is 55-year-old Hasenar Anduhi, a resident of Badaiyabuka Bela in Kasaragod district of Kerala.

"Around 4.30 pm on Wednesday, a motorbiker hit a man in front of Hotel Shivala near the CSMT, due to which he fell on the road. Just then, a speeding BEST bus going towards the Electric House in south Mumbai from Anushakti Nagar ran over him," the news agency quoted a police official as saying.

The bus belongs to a wet lease private operator and driver Jagdale is an employee of the civic undertaking, the report added.

The accident occurred two days after the horrific bus tragedy in the Kurla area of the metropolis in which an out of control electric bus of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking fatally knocked down seven persons and injured 42 others on Monday night.

In the Kurla crash, the police arrested Sanjay More (54), who was at the wheel of the ill-fated bus.

Meanwhile, the police have manhunt for the biker, who hit the pedestrian.
