BMTC electric bus hits auto near K.R. circle; auto driver killed

A 60-year-old autorickshaw driver named Krishnamurthy was killed when a Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) electric bus collided with his vehicle near K.R. Circle on Sheshadri Road in Bengaluru on Saturday. This incident follows another recent accident involving a BMTC electric bus at the same location, which caused over 15 injuries. Transport Minister Byrathi Suresha has ordered a review of all BMTC electric buses following these incidents. Preliminary reports suggest the bus may have lost control due to a suspected brake failure before crashing into the stationary autorickshaw. The police have registered a case and are conducting an investigation to determine the exact cause of the accident. Traffic was temporarily disrupted until the bus was removed from the scene.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about a traffic accident involving a government-operated transportation service (BMTC), mentions a minister ordering a review, but does not take a clear stance or show bias toward any political side. It remains neutral in tone and provides balanced reporting.
