A 13-year-old girl died in Arunachal Pradesh’s West Siang district after she fell down from a moving school bus, police said on Sunday. Nyayir Kame, a resident of Lungte village in Shi-Yomi district, fell after the bus failed to come to a complete halt, Aalo Police Station officer-in-charge Lakhi Mena said while quoting the investigating officer.
The incident occurred around 2 pm near Darka when the school bus, en route from Pasighat in East Siang district, was carrying students, including Kame, who had attended a church-organised youth camp in Basar, Leparada district.
Police said Kame felt nauseous and urged the driver to stop, but she alighted prematurely, leading to her fatal fall. “An FIR has been lodged and a case registered,” police added.
