Shocking New Details Emerge in Kurnool Bus Tragedy
A bizarre and shocking new detail has emerged from the Kurnool bus fire investigation, adding a perplexing layer to the tragic incident. Kurnool police have revealed that the motorcycle being transported in the APSRTC bus’s luggage hold had two people on it when the fire broke out.
The bus, travelling from Hyderabad to Anantapur, was engulfed in flames near Veldurthi in a horrific incident that initially appeared to be a case of gross negligence. However, the latest findings have shifted the entire narrative of the tragedy.
A Miraculous Escape Amidst the Inferno
According to police statements, the ill-fated motorcycle had both a driver and a pillion passenger riding on it while it was inside the moving bus’s storage compartment.
While the motorcycle driver was tragically killed in the blaze, the pillion rider managed an almost unbelievable escape. Officials have confirmed that this individual survived the incident and is now a crucial eyewitness cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
Investigation Grapples with Baffling Questions
This revelation, first reported by The Hindu, has left investigators and the public stunned. The focus has now expanded from questioning why the bus crew allowed a vehicle with fuel in its tank on board to a far more baffling question: why were two people riding a motorcycle inside the luggage hold of a moving bus?
Investigators are now probing several possibilities:
* Was it a reckless stunt?
* Were the individuals attempting to travel without a ticket?
* Was there another compulsion that led to such a dangerous act?
The testimony of the survivor is now the linchpin of the investigation.
Survivor’s Testimony is Key to Unlocking the Truth
The pillion rider’s account will be critical in piecing together the exact sequence of events. Their statement will help determine the circumstances that led them to be on the bike and whether the bus driver or conductor were aware of their presence in the luggage compartment. This could significantly impact where culpability lies.
The Kurnool bus fire is now a complex case of gross negligence compounded by a baffling, high-risk decision. As the investigation continues, the survivor’s testimony is the key to understanding the full truth behind this devastating road tragedy.
