Death of a man at Gajuwaka sparked a protest on Friday evening.

The accident reportedly took place when the temporary driver of a RTC bus lost control over the vehicle and hit the person. The victim was identified as I. V. Nageswararao (55), a resident of Gajuwaka. He was hit by the bus and crushed against a relief van that was parked at the wayside. He died on the spot.

Relatives of the victim rush to the spot and staged a dharna. They alleged that hiring of an untrained person as driver was the reason for the tragedy.
