According to police reports, the incident took place while the five were traveling on a bicycle from Surapura to Tinthani. A bus that belongs to the Kalyan Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (KKSRTC), bewitched on the bicycle from behind after the driver lost control of the vehicle, which led to the tragedy.
