A pilgrim couple were killed when the motorcycle they were riding was knocked down by a bus on the first ghat road leading to Tirupati on Tuesday. The couple, Govindarajulu and his wife, Lakshmi, of Tiruvallur in Tamil Nadu, were returning to their place after darshan of the presiding deity when the accident took place.
While Lakshmi died on the spot, Govindarajulu succumbed to his injuries while being rushed to Tirupati.
