Amravati, India- In a tragic incident at Amravati District Central Bus Stop, a 9-year-old boy named Pritam Govind Nirmale was killed on the spot, and his 12-year-old cousin sister, Vaishnavi Sanjay Nirmale, sustained severe injuries after being hit by a recklessly driven city bus. The incident occurred near Science Core Ground on Sunday, where the siblings had arrived with their grandmother, Narmada Nirmale, to attend a religious program at Rukhmini Nagar.
