A tragic incident occurred on Jaura Road in Morena, resulting in the death of a forty-year-old woman, Kamla Baghel, from Baripura. The woman was fatally hit and dragged by a speeding bus while attempting to cross the road at 10 a.m. The driver, in a brutal turn of events, did not stop the bus after the collision, dragging the victim for about thirty feet, leading to her immediate demise.
Local authorities, including the Civil Lines police, responded swiftly to the scene to secure the area and launch an investigation. The driver abandoned the bus and fled the location post the accident. Law enforcement has taken possession of the bus and initiated a search operation to apprehend the driver responsible for the tragedy.
Eyewitnesses, especially a woman who was with the victim during the accident, provided crucial details to the police. They described the reckless driving behavior of the bus driver, highlighting the driver’s negligence and lack of regard for life. The witnesses recounted how the driver callously continued driving with the woman trapped under the bus, dragging her body a considerable distance.
The Civil Lines police have opened a criminal case and are examining the bus for any mechanical faults. Initial findings point towards human error and excessive speed as the main factors contributing to the fatal incident.
