Karachi University bus crushed a second year student from NED University on Saturday

Karachi:A University of Karachi (KU) Point bus crushed a second year Computer Engineering student from the NED University on Saturday morning at the Silver Jubilee gate of KU.

The driver did not stop the bus even after the accident and entered the campus in a bid to escape. He was later arrested, however, and put in the lock up at the Mubeena Town Police Station. The KU administration has filed an FIR against him.

The victim, Faiza Nadeem Zaidi, lived in Ghazi Town, Malir, and was using the KU bus on the fateful day. Some KU and NED students took Zaidi to Shan Hospital near NIPA Chowrangi where doctors pronounced her dead. Her body was then shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for an autopsy.

The students of KU were shocked by the accident and hurt by the inhumane attitude of the Rangers, KU Security Staff and bystanders who later denied that anything had happened. When the students approached the security personnel to ask them why they did not stop the driver, the Rangers replied:The bus carried a government number plate so we did not stop it.

The students then reached the KU Bus Depot to look for the offending driver, Yawar, but he was not there. The staff at the depot asked the students to leave and stop asking questions otherwise they (students) would get in trouble.

A professor who is also a member of the KU Syndicate assured that the culprit will be handed over to the police to face the consequences. A witness, requesting anonymity fearing reprisals from the unruly KU transport employees, confirmed that the bus was travelling at breakneck speed and took a left turn with a lurch near the Silver Jubilee Gate.

Zaidi, who was standing near the entrance of the bus, fell off and was run over by the rear wheels of the bus.

KU Transport Advisor Dr Zulqarnain Shadaab, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Urdu, defended the driver as he said that the late student hadjumped from the moving bus. This was contradicted by eyewitnesses. Students informed The News that the KU Transport Committee had recorded the statement of some fake.

Zaidis parents were traumatised by the death of their daughter and were unable to talk about the incident.
