  "account": "On October 9, a 50-year-old man, Santosh Tulshiram Rolekar, suffered a fractured left leg after the rear door of a BEST bus slammed shut while he was attempting to board the vehicle in Prabhadevi, Mumbai. BEST bus number 92 (MH 03 FC 5603) was involved in the incident. Rolekar, who resides in the Mahalaxmi Racecourse area, had visited a clinic for a medical check-up earlier that day due to his heart condition. Unable to board the bus immediately, he waited near the Kia showroom on Appasaheb Marathe Marg. At around 11 am, the bus arrived at the stop while Rolekar was still outside. As he attempted to enter through the rear door, the door suddenly shut, trapping his leg. The driver, Rajendra Parshuram Kharat, moved the bus forward and turned it to the right, exacerbating the injury. Rolekar screamed for help and banged on the bus window. A motorcyclist who passed by came to his aid, helped him to the side of the road, and provided him with water. Police arrived at the scene shortly after and transported Rolekar to Nair Hospital for treatment. Doctors confirmed that he had sustained a fracture in his left leg. Rolekar is currently receiving medical attention. Dadar police have registered a case against the bus driver and conductor, Kharat and Vikram Dinkar More, under Sections 281 and 338 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deal with rash or negligent conduct and causing grievous hurt through such an act. Further investigation is ongoing.",
