Pune Bus Tragedy

A month after 30 staffers of BSKK University were killed when their bus plunged into a 600-feet deep gorge, the sole survivor of the tragedy has been sent on ''long leave'' for an indefinite period, a top official said on Thursday.

Reflecting public anger, the Pune Bar Association has refused to defend Santosh Mane, the state transport bus driver who went berserk on a busy street here during morning rush hours on Wednesday, killing nine people and injuring 30 others.

Though cops claim he has no history of being mentally unsound, the state transport bus driver who went berserk on a busy Pune street during morning rush hours yesterday, ended up mowing down eight people. He would have slain and brutalised more, had it not been for a brave college student, now being hailed as a hero.

It was a Wednesday full of shock and horror for Pune residents. A bus driver hurtled through the heart of the city, unleashing mayhem and crushing down people indiscriminately in his path.
