Man whose father was knocked down by BEST bus in 2021 speaks of ordeal victims’ families face

Ritesh Jalan’s father was hit by the bus while crossing the road
Reading about the horrific bus accident in Kurla West brought back memories for Ritesh Jalan, whose father passed away in a BEST bus accident at Cuffe Parade in December 2021. That bus was leased from private operators running on select routes.
At that time Cuffe Parad-ians reacted with anger, shock and grief upon hearing that regular walker Sanwarmal Jalan, 76, had gone out for a routine morning walk on December 23 when he got knocked down by a BEST bus while crossing a junction at Cuffe Parade. Though he was rushed to hospital, Jalan passed away.
