# Egg attacks target Kerala buses near Bidadi; cops deny accident link 2026-08-14T22:36:09+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets A Kerala State Road Transport Corporation bus was attacked with eggs near Bidadi on Wednesday night, a week after a fatal accident on the same stretch of the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway. The driver stopped the bus after egg white smeared the windscreen, blocking visibility. Karnataka police have denied any link between the egg-throwing and the August 8 crash that killed driver Arun Kumar and conductor Mithilesh. Broken egg remains were found on the first bus, but authorities have not confirmed a connection. Kerala transport minister C.P. John has ordered a forensic probe into the earlier accident. An NGO has petitioned Karnataka's home and transport ministers, fearing a pattern of attacks. Police are examining CCTV footage but have not yet filed an FIR. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - siasat.com Tags: Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway, C.P.
