KOLKATA: Two Bangladeshi tourists — Shazmila Jishman (22) and her mother Shirin Chowdhury (55) — were injured after being hit by a private bus near Birla Planetarium on Cathedral Road on Sunday. The accident happened when the bus, plying on the route 212 had started moving towards Esplanade after dropping passengers. The duo from Chattogram in Bangladesh got admitted to SSKM Hospital.
The CCTV footage checked by the police showed that the bus was stationary when the two were trying to cross the road. They came in the blind spot of the bus when it started moving. The blind spots are the areas that a driver cannot see either in the mirror or by turning his head.
