It is not clear how the live wire fell on the bus, but media reports said it happened after some students pulled at a tree that was touching the cables.
Some reports said it was a coconut tree, while others said the wire snapped when the children tried to pluck fruit from a mango tree
“We are probing. As of now we’ve filed a case of accidental death. We don’t know if there was any negligence,” television channel NDTV quoted a police official as saying.
In a similar incident last year, at least 25 people were electrocuted in the in the Tonk district of the northern Rajasthan state after a live wire fell on a bus carrying a wedding party.

well now that the New World Order has declared all death so unacceptable they will violently inflict life threatening injuries upon any misinformed bastard who dares violate their life-saving rules…Time to cut down all the fruit trees and enact new electricity distancing rules and force electrically-insulated boots and gloves to be worn by all passengers on the roof of any public transit conveyance.
