The injured girl, identified as Abhidnya Abhijeet Madiwale (9), was returning home from school when the bus stopped on the roadside. After getting off, she walked in front of the bus and attempted to cross the road to reach her house. She was allegedly struck by a speeding motorcycle and fell unconscious after the impact.

Abhidnya was rushed to a private hospital in Beed, where she is undergoing treatment. Her condition was stated to be serious.

The viral video has sparked criticism from parents and citizens, who questioned why the child was allowed to cross the road unaccompanied. The footage purportedly shows the bus parked along the roadside without any attendant assisting students in crossing safely.

Following the incident, District Traffic Branch Acting Police Inspector Vaibhav Patil directed Police Sub-Inspector Vijay Jadhavar and his team to visit the hospital and gather details of the accident.

Officials said the safety of students after they alight from school buses is the responsibility of the bus driver and attendant. In this case, the child was reportedly left to cross the road alone after the bus stopped.

Senior Police Inspector Vaibhav Patil said notices would be issued to all schools in Beed city directing them to strictly comply with prescribed traffic and student safety norms. He warned that institutions found violating the norms would face strict legal action. Patil also said a meeting with the managements of all schools would be convened soon to review compliance with student transport safety regulations.
