Investigation into the horrific bus fire on NH-44 near Andhra Pradesh’s Kurnool town that claimed 19 lives early on Friday, police investigation has revealed that the bus did not hit a moving motorcycle, but run over the bike lying on the highway after a road accident.
Kurnool district superintendent of police (SP) Vikrant Patil told reporters on Saturday that Panchala Shiva Shankar (20), and his friend Erriswamy, both residents of Lakshmipuram village, were on their way to Tuggali on a bike around 2am.
