In an inhuman incident, a sick woman died on roadside after she was forcefully de-boarded by the staffs of a bus midway on National Highway-16 in Ganjam district.
The deceased woman was identified as Runu Swain, a resident of Padmatola village under Patapur block in the district.
According to reports, the ailing woman was travelling with her son Suji in a private bus to the Bhubaneswar AIIMS on Thursday. At around 3.30 pm, the health condition of the woman suddenly worsened in the bus.
With no alternative left, her son pleaded with the bus staffs and co-passengers to take her to a nearby hospital. However, the bus staffs forced the duo to alight near a temple in Ganjam town on the NH. A few minutes later, the woman died.
Getting information, a police patrolling team reached the spot and sent the body to her village in an ambulance.
