Engineering student killed in Hyderabad road mishap

A 21-year-old engineering student was killed after falling beneath an RTC bus in Hyderabad on Monday morning. Police said the crash happened when her father swerved to avoid a motorcyclist riding on the wrong side of the road.

Shaik Ayesha Musfira, from Hafeeznagar in the Old City, was a third-year B.E. Mining student at Osmania University College of Engineering. Her father, Mohammed Arif, was taking her to college on his motorcycle.

As they passed Shaila Cafe near the Fever Hospital signals in Nallakunta, an SBI employee approached from the opposite direction at speed, travelling in the wrong lane, police said. Arif braked suddenly to avoid a collision. The motorcycle lost control and fell to the left, while Ayesha fell to the right and was struck by the rear wheels of an RTC bus coming from behind.

She suffered severe head injuries and died at the scene. Nallakunta police took her body to the Gandhi Hospital mortuary for a post-mortem examination. A case has been registered and an investigation is under way.
