BHOPAL: A woman died and six passengers were injured, one of them seriously, when a high tension wire fell on a bus in a village of Tikamgarh on Sunday.
The bus was going from Dighora village of Tikamgarh to Jhansi in UP when it came up against a road blockade over water crisis in the region. The driver took another route to bypass the protest and ended up in a small village, about 20km from Tikamgarh town.
While passing through a narrow lane, the bus hit an electricity pole, and the high-tension cable fell on the vehicle. The dead woman was identified as Munni Bai, a resident of Jhansi. Maina Patel, SHO of Dighora, said they are looking for the driver.
