The Mahatma Phule police have arrested a bus driver, for the accident in which Manisha Bhoir died last week, when the bike she was riding pillion, hit a pothole in Kalyan. However, a social activist has claimed the driver is innocent. He says MSRDC has not repaired the road where the mishap happened, despite several complaints, while its official blames residents, says they have not let them repair it.

CCTV footage shows the bike and a bus moving side by side when the bike gets a jerk and Bhoir, 40, and her neighbour riding it fall, and she comes under the rear wheels of the bus. But according to senior inspector PR Londhe, "The bus pushed the bike rider because of which he fell. It's clear negligence and therefore we arrested bus driver Shaikh Ahmad, 31. The victim’s family complained to us." Asked if he had checked the CCTV footage, he said he had not.
