An 11-year-old schoolboy, Aditya, was crushed to death today under a bus of his school. The incident occurred at a private school in Mauli village, Barwala. The child was reportedly playing hide and seek and was sitting behind the bus when the incident occurred.

The driver reversed the bus without seeing the boy, who got crushed under it. Aditya’s father, a cook in a nearby school, said Aditya was a Class IV student and was playing during the recess. A case has been registered against the driver for negligent driving.
