A tragic incident occurred in Rohini on Saturday when a DTC electric bus went rogue and ended up colliding with a bunch of vehicles, including parked two-wheelers. The aftermath? One person lost their life, and another got injured in the chaos.

DCP (Rohini) Guriqbal Sidhu shared that this accident unfolded near Mother Divine School, leading to a quick response from the police after they got a call through PCR. The injured folks were taken to Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital, where a 30-year-old man sadly couldn’t be saved.

CCTV footage caught the whole incident, and the bus driver, Sandeep, who hails from Rohtak, was taken into custody. The initial investigation suggests that Sandeep somehow lost control of the DTC bus, smashing into a car and some two-wheelers. Legal action is now in motion, as mentioned by the DCP.

A senior officer said they’re still trying to identify the deceased individual. It’s sad to note that the person was walking when the bus swerved into them. The injured man, Ram Sharma, was on his two-wheeler when the bus collided with him. He’s from Sector 3 in Rohini and is currently receiving treatment.

During questioning, the driver claimed that he was en route to the bus depot when he suddenly had a seizure, leading to the loss of control over the vehicle. The investigators are still piecing together the puzzle, as the driver keeps changing his story. Additionally, they are looking into whether brake failure might have played a role in this unfortunate accident.
