The accident took place around 3.45 pm when Raksha was returning home on the school bus. Raksha was sitting facing the door of the bus, which was unlocked and unattended. The driver who was speeding reached a curve in the road and turned to the right rashly. Due to the impact, Raksha was tossed out of the vehicle and came under the rear wheel of the bus.
