A student of Osmania University College of Engineering died after coming under the rear wheel of an RTC bus near the Fever Hospital traffic signal at Nallakunta on Monday morning.
The deceased was identified as Shaik Aisha, a second-year B.E. Mining Engineering student. She was travelling to college on a motorcycle driven by her father, Badwell Mohammed Areef, when the accident occurred at around 9.30 a.m.
According to the complaint lodged by her father at Nallakunta Police Station, he was riding a motorcycle (TS 13 EZ 0140) with Aisha seated behind him. When they reached the Fever Hospital signal near Shazla Café, an RTC bus was proceeding along the road while another two-wheeler was approaching from the opposite direction.
Areef stated that he applied the brakes to control the motorcycle, but it skidded and both fell onto the road. Aisha reportedly fell beneath the rear wheel of the bus and suffered severe head injuries. She died at the scene.
Her father sustained injuries to his face and legs. With the assistance of a 108 ambulance, both were shifted to Osmania General Hospital. Aisha’s body was kept at the hospital for post-mortem examination.
Following the incident, faculty members Dr. K. Srinivas, Chair Professor, and Dr. M. Sathish Kumar, along with E. Srinivas and fellow students, visited Osmania General Hospital. They met the family and assisted in completing the necessary hospital formalities.
Areef approached the Nallakunta police seeking legal action in connection with the accident. Police are expected to examine the circumstances, including the movement of the RTC bus and the presence of the other two-wheeler mentioned in the complaint.
The accident occurred during the morning commute while the student was on her way to college with her father.
