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. The bike skidded off the road and hit a road divider. Shankar succumbed to his injuries on the spot. While Erriswamy was trying to drag the body away, the Bengaluru-bound bus hit the bike that was lying on the highway in high speed and dragged it for a few metres.
Earlier, it was believed that the bike rider was among the 20 bus fire victims.
THE BIKE WAS ALREADY LYING ON THE ROAD WHEN THE BUS HEADED TO BENGALURU HIT IT AND DRAGGED IT FOR FEW METRES
