Government Railway Police, deputy superintendent S.G. Jagadeeshappa, who is the investigating officer in the case, said, “The bus picked up the children from four villages — Kistapur, Islampur, Venkataiapally and Gundreddypally — and was going to Masaipet to pick up other students.

Driver Bhikshapathi Goud, who was not a regular driver, was wearing ear phones. He may have been listening to music or talking on the phone. We have to check his phone call data. It was purely the fault of the bus driver.”
