Prima-facie, it has come during investigation that the bus came in contact with the 11000 KV overhead electricity line. The bus was on the wrong side of the road. It is being assumed that the driver hit the electricity pole following which the wire snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt seems the driver had taken the wrong side after facing traffic congestion. The bus belonged to a private operator and was on its way to Jaipur from Delhi,\u201d said an official; however, he said that the details were being confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pinkcitypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bus-fire-xlxl22.jpg\" alt=\"Bus that caught fire \" class=\"wp-image-8398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pinkcitypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bus-fire-xlxl22.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.pinkcitypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bus-fire-xlxl22-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>smoke emanating out of the bus that that caught fire on NH-8<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge crowd of nearby villagers and commuters gathered on the spot.
