A six-year-old girl was run over by the bus of her school at Chhainsa village here today. A case has been registered, but no arrest has been made so far.

According to a complaint lodged by the deceased’s father Sohan Pal, the incident occurred around 2.30 pm after his daughter Gunjan, a student of Navjyoti Public School, disembarked from the bus.

He alleged the driver moved the bus without verifying whether the child had alighted safely or not. The girl lost balance and was crushed under the rear wheel of the bus.
