13 students hurt as tourist bus hits school bus near Mulky
The Story in Brief
Thirteen students and a school bus driver were injured on Friday (23 October 2026) when a tourist minibus rammed into a parked Ryan International School bus at Kolnad, near Mulky, the police said.
The accident occurred around 3.40 pm near the Mulky Sundarram Shetty Convention Hall. The impact pushed the school bus into a roadside stormwater drain. The injured sustained minor injuries and were treated at a private hospital in Mulky.
A case was registered at the Mangaluru Traffic North police station under Sections 281 and 125(A) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The driver of the SRS tourist minibus, travelling from Mulky to Mangaluru, lost control and hit the parked school bus, according to The Hindu. The Times of India reported the vehicle belonged to a Bengaluru-based operator.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both The Hindu and The Times of India delivered straight, factual wire-style accounts of the accident, with no discernible slant. The Hindu named the minibus operator as SRS and the hospital as a private facility in Mulky, The Times of India identified the operator as Bengaluru-based and the hospital as Srinivas Hospital in Mukka. Neither source framed the incident as a law-and-order failure or criticised any authority. The uniform coverage reflects a routine road accident reported without ideological or political framing. The next step is the police investigation under the registered BNS sections.
