Kurnool Bus Tragedy: Serious Questions Over Fitness Certificate Issued by Silvassa-Naroli RTO — Did Bipin Pawar Fail His Duty?

A Tragic Accident Raises a Bigger Question —

How Did a “Fit” Bus Claim 20 Lives ?

Silvassa / Kurnool:

The horrific bus fire accident on the Hyderabad–Bengaluru Highway near Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, has shaken the entire nation.

In just moments, a peaceful journey turned into a blazing inferno — terrified screams, trapped passengers, and a road covered in silence.

Over 20 innocent lives were lost, and many others were left critically injured.

But this is not just a road accident — it appears to be a grim reflection of negligence and a corrupt system that cost human lives.

The Bus DD01N9490 — A “Fitness Certificate” to Death?

Investigations have revealed shocking details.

The ill-fated bus (Registration No. DD01N9490) reportedly received a fitness certificate on March 27, 2025, from the Silvassa-Naroli (Athal) RTO office.

This certificate allegedly bears the signature of RTO Officer Bipin Pawar.

Now, the burning question is —

> If the bus was in such a deteriorated condition, how did it pass the fitness inspection?

Was the bus actually produced for inspection,

or was the process completed only on paper?

If the latter is true, this is not mere negligence — it’s an act of administrative homicide that claimed more than 20 lives.

 Brokers, Bribes, and the Maharashtra Connection?

Local sources and preliminary reports suggest that several private transport operators have been obtaining fitness approvals from the Silvassa RTO through middlemen or brokers.

Some of these approvals allegedly link back to major companies in Maharashtra.

This has raised serious concerns about whether Bipin Pawar and other officials fulfilled their responsibilities or succumbed to external influence and financial pressure.

The Public and Families Demand Justice

With over 20 families shattered, anger and grief are sweeping through the region.

Victims’ families and social groups are demanding a transparent and independent investigation:

1. Immediate verification of fitness inspection records and CCTV footage from the RTO office.

2. Cross-checking GPS and location data to confirm whether the bus was physically presented for inspection.

3. Audit of all officials involved, including Bipin Pawar, to assess their accountability.

4. Strict disciplinary and legal action against anyone found guilty of negligence or corruption.

These demands go beyond punishment — they call for accountability in a system that is supposed to safeguard lives, not endanger them.

Not Just an Accident — A Test of Accountability

This tragedy isn’t only about a burning bus.

It’s about a systemic failure that allowed a potentially unsafe vehicle to operate under the guise of “fitness.”

If a certificate can be issued without inspection,

then every passenger bus on Indian roads becomes a ticking time bomb.

The Kurnool bus tragedy is more than just another headline —

it’s a wake-up call for India’s transport system.

When life can be traded for signatures and paperwork,

it’s time to question the very foundation of accountability.

The victims’ families deserve truth, justice, and transparency — and it’s now up to the government to deliver it.
