NEW DELHI: A 55-year-old man from Kerala was run over by a BEST bus near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) on Wednesday, marking the second fatal accident involving the transport body in three days, officials said.
“A motorbike hit the pedestrian, causing him to fall on the road. Moments later, a speeding BEST bus heading toward Electric House ran over him, with the rear wheel causing fatal injuries,” a police official said. The victim died on the spot.
The bus driver, Dnyandeo Jagdale, has been taken into custody for questioning, while police have launched a search for the motorcyclist.
The incident comes just two days after an out-of-control BEST electric bus killed seven and injured 42 in Kurla. The driver in that case, Sanjay More, was arrested and remains in custody.
