Kerala orders comprehensive probe into egg-hurling at KSRTC bus
A bus from Kerala was driving home from a big city when someone threw eggs at its front window.
The eggs covered the glass and made it very hard for the driver to see.
This was dangerous because the driver could have had a serious accident.
A minister named C P John heard about what happened and said it was very serious.
He asked the bus company to investigate the incident carefully.
Some people think someone is trying to hurt the buses on purpose, which is called sabotage.
People are worried because another bus from the same company crashed in the same area just days before, and two workers died.
The bus company is now checking the bus route and other similar events in the area.
They want to keep passengers and workers safe and will take legal action if they find out who did it.
Kerala Transport Minister C P John ordered a comprehensive probe into the incident, suspecting sabotage.
Unidentified persons allegedly hurled eggs at a KSRTC Deluxe bus around 9 pm on August 12 at Viduthi, Karnataka.
The bus, operated by KSRTC's Kasaragod unit, was travelling from Bengaluru to Kasaragod when eggs hit its front windshield.
The eggs obstructed the driver's vision, creating a dangerous situation that could have led to an accident.
Another KSRTC bus overturned about 2 km away on August 8, killing two employees, raising suspicions of a possible conspiracy.
