Bus driver responsible for the death of 26 pilgrims of MP!: The driver had lied to CM Shivraj too; The report revealed that the steering did not fail.

A bus carrying 28 pilgrims from Panna district to Uttarakhand’s Char Dham Yatra fell into a gorge from the mountain of Uttarkashi, in which 26 people were killed. A big disclosure has been made of who is responsible for this accident. Daily newspaper When I talked to Uttarkashi’s ARTO Mukesh Saini, a shocking case came to the fore. He told that in the technical investigation it was found that there was no problem in the steering of the bus, the RI involved in the investigation checked the steering, gear box of the bus, then no such defect was found in it. So it can be assumed that his steering may not have failed. The cause of the accident would be another. The report has been sent to the Magistrate (SDM). One thing has become clear from this that the injured driver lied to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan that the accident happened due to steering failure. The Uttarkashi administration is yet to complete the investigation of the accident. The statement of the driver and the remaining injured has also not been taken.

Let me tell you what happened that day… the words of the injured couple

Uday Singh and his wife Hakki Raja of Chikhla village of Panna, the only couple who survived the accident, are undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Uttarkashi. His condition is out of danger. Apart from this, another injured Rajkumari Rajput of Kakarhata is also admitted there. The Uday Singh couple, who witnessed the accident, told how even after refusing the driver, he did not reduce the speed of the bus. He kept driving the car at high speed even in the hill-ditch. Hear the full story of Uday…

‘The driver was driving the bus fast, said – I have daily work’

Uday told that we had left around 10-11:30 in the morning of June 5. There were 28 people in one bus and 41 pilgrims in the other. It was just going on and on. The accident happened near Damta around 7.30 pm. Our bus was on speed. He should have stopped for a while, but he didn’t. Those who had left in the morning had to drive the bus. Stopped at a place or two just for tea. Some people sitting in front of the bus had definitely forbidden the driver of the bus to drive at speed, but he kept on driving. The driver said that nothing happens, he drives everyday. During that time the speed of the bus must have been around 70-80, while it was an inaccessible road. Some people expressed concern, then the driver said that I keep taking it, it is my daily work.

‘Bus fell into a ditch due to driver taking a nap’

Uday said that drivers do not pay attention to gold in the pursuit of earning. During the time when the accident happened, there was a sigh (sleep) due to which the bus fell into the ditch. Me and wife and some people went out. After that, the bus stopped for some time by staying in the tree. After some time the police came. Asked me how many people were on the bus. I told that there were 28 people on board. We told them that there was no extra driver in the bus, there was only one.

Stayed for a day or two. Chief Minister Shivraj also came. He asked about the accident. We said that the bus overturned, it was going fast.
