MTC technician slips to death while pasting poster on bus

The deceased, Venkatesan of Thakkolam in Vellore district, was standing on the foot peg in front of the bus and was pasting the ‘deluxe’ sticker on the glass panel around 3 am. Suddenly, he slipped and fell on the ground.

Even though he fell from a height of just 2.5 ft, Venkatesan got injured in the back of his head and became unconscious. He was rushed to the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, but died without responding to the treatment. The Poonamallee police have registered a case regarding the incident and sent his body for post-mortem examination. It may be recalled that two technicians died after the bus ran amok and rammed a wall of a resting area at Vadapalani depot recently.
