Bus Runs Over Biker On Camera In Ahmedabad, Resulting In His Immediate Death

On April 19, a distressing incident occurred at Bhulabhai crossroads, captured by CCTV. The footage shows 52-year-old Navin Patel attempting to cross the road on his two-wheeler, only to be run over by an Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (ATMS) bus.

The tragic video depicts Mr. Patel falling to the ground and the bus’s right rear tire rolling over his head. The driver of the bus did not stop and fled the scene, leading to Mr. Patel’s immediate passing.

What ensued was equally alarming, as no passerby came to Mr. Patel’s aid as he lay injured. Despite the bustling intersection, bystanders failed to stop and help the victim.

The video has since circulated widely on social media, prompting questioning of human empathy in critical situations. The lack of assistance drew strong reactions from the public, with one individual lamenting the lack of societal compassion.

Furthermore, the incident sparked a broader discussion on the value of human life and the responsibility to aid those in need. In the context of the accident, the lack of prompt assistance further highlighted the societal concerns.

Additionally, statistics revealing a significant number of accidents involving AMTS buses and private operators in Ahmedabad over the past decade have added to the gravity of the situation. *(With inputs from Mahendra Prasad)*
