Delhi Motor Accident Claim Tribunal orders compensation of Rs 1.26 crore to the families of the deceased in 2023 road accident

The tribunal, in its order issued on December 22, said the accident was caused by the negligence and speeding of DTC bus driver Sanjay. The accident occurred on October 18, 2023, at around 1 pm, on Rithala Road below Rohini East Metro Station, when Manish Kumar Choudhary was driving his motorcycle.

It is alleged that the DTC bus suddenly changed lanes, due to which Manish Kumar Choudhary’s motorcycle collided with the rear of the bus. He was immediately taken to the hospital, where he was declared dead. The tribunal, relying on CCTV footage, found that the bus had suddenly changed lanes. The driver claimed that the motorcycle was trying to overtake the bus, but the tribunal rejected this argument, saying that the footage clearly proved the negligence of the bus driver.
