The bus involved in the accident on Monday was examined at the BEST depot by a team of RTO officials and found to be fine in preliminary tests. But the bus will further be examined by the manufacturer, Olectra, and the BEST undertaking separately with hi-tech equipment to assess if there was something wrong with it.

As per records, the bus is registered with the Mumbai Central RTO on August 20, 2024 and is just three months old. The Wadala RTO has been asked to submit a detailed report. “On Tuesday, at the Kurla bus depot, we examined the steering, accelerator and the brakes of the affected bus. They were found to be in fine condition as per norms, but they will need a detailed and deeper investigation with proper equipment to check their calibrations since it is an automatic electric vehicle,” a RTO official said.
