The Story in Brief
Three people, including a four-year-old girl, died after a KSRTC bus collided with their motorcycle near Konnur in Karnataka’s Belagavi district on Thursday, police said. The victims were identified as Saif Mulla, 29, his daughter Sija Saif Mulla, and family friend Imtiyaz Badagaon, 35. They were travelling from Gokak Falls towards Konnur when the crash occurred near Karemma Temple. The bus was travelling from Hidkal to Gokak. Police said all three died at the scene. Siasat.com reports that the bus driver fled after the collision. Police have taken both vehicles into custody and registered a case at Gokak Rural Police Station.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that one reckless driver alone caused the deaths, while another version may blame the motorcyclists without evidence. Neither can be established yet. Police must release the crash findings, witness accounts and any available speed or vehicle inspection evidence. The first concrete test is whether investigators locate the driver and establish the collision sequence from physical evidence.
