A woman was ejected from a crowded bus in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu, on Tuesday when the vehicle made a sharp turn near her position by the door.

A video circulating on social media platform X since Thursday depicts the incident, capturing Saradha as she fell from the bus and tumbled along the road until the bus came to a screeching halt.

According to reports, Saradha had traveled to Salem to purchase clothes and was returning home on the bus. When the bus negotiated a sharp turn, she lost her balance and was thrown off, coming to a stop about 20 feet away. Alerted passengers quickly informed the conductor, prompting the driver to bring the bus to a halt.

Passengers rushed to aid Saradha, who sustained serious injuries and was subsequently transported to Salem Government Hospital for treatment.

In a similar event in February 2024, a bus conductor in Erode, Tamil Nadu, prevented a woman from falling off a moving bus. Video of the incident, also widely shared on X, showed the conductor grabbing the woman’s hair and pulling her back inside the bus just as she was about to fall out. After the bus stopped, the woman disembarked, expressing her gratitude to the conductor before continuing her journey.
