After an accident video was circulated on social media alleging that two women injured their hands while boarding a bus through the window, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) on Sunday issued a clarification that the video was misleading people.
The video footage had been circulated on social media claiming that due to the surge in crowd after the introduction of Shakti scheme in the state, the women had tried to use the window to board the bus and were injured. However, the KSRTC clarified that video was of an accident between a KSRTC bus and lorry that occurred on June 18.
“On 18 June, a KSRTC bus of Nanjangud depot of Chamarajanagar division was operating on the Nanjangud-T.Narsipur route near Basavarajpura. At around 1.45 p.m, a lorry bearing the number TN77 Q8735, speeding in a rash and negligent manner in opposite direction, hit the bus on the rear right side. This resulted in injuries to two women passengers sitting on the window side of the bus,” a statement by the KSRTC stated.
