A day after a peepal tree collapsed on a school bus in Chembur, killing an 11-year-old student, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday suspended two officials pending departmental inquiries and constituted a high-level committee to investigate the incident.

According to suspension orders issued by the civic body, M-West Ward Assistant Garden Superintendent Jagdish Bhoir and Junior Engineer (Roads) Arun Munde have been placed under suspension with immediate effect, pending preliminary and departmental inquiries.
