Gig Worker Dies in Bus Accident
A young man named Devarakonda Kishore was very sad because he died in an accident.
He was riding his bike near a lake in Hyderabad when a bus hit him.
The bus was going too fast and not carefully.
Kishore had two jobs: he delivered things for an app and also sold fruits.
He left behind his wife and a baby girl who is only eight months old.
The police are looking into what happened, and a group that helps workers like Kishore is trying to assist his family.
Devarakonda Kishore, a 26-year-old gig worker, died after being hit by a bus near Pragathinagar Lake in Hyderabad.
This is the second death of a gig worker reported this month in Hyderabad.
Kishore was traveling towards Pragathinagar when a bus allegedly hit his bike from the left side while traveling at high speed.
