A couple and their 13-year-old son were killed on the spot when a private bus knocked down their scooter on the outskirts of Chickballapur on Monday.
The deceased have been identified as Mohammed Ghouse, 37, his wife Ammajaan, 33, and their son Rehan. While Ghouse was from Hospet, Ammajaan was from Kadri in Andhra Pradesh. The couple stayed in Chickballapur as Ghouse was running a second-hand vehicle business.
