The bus involved in the recent Kurnool accident which resulted in the loss of 20 innocent lives was illegally modified into a sleeper coach, reveal documents.The vehicle was converted into a sleeper coach without proper authorisation, and it was also being operated across states under questionable documentation. The officials had failed to identify that the bus was originally registered as a seater coach, which was later converted into a sleeper without following safety protocols. It had 120 challans,16 serious traffic violations and a history of overspeeding, yet officials looked away just like they always do. This isn't an accident, it is a heinous crime; mass murder born out of greed and corruption. There could be many more such buses plying on our roads, the state transport authorities should conduct a thorough audit of such vehicles and impound the ones not meeting norms else such tragedies will continue to happen.
