Five people died and 16 were injured when a Meghalaya State Transport Corporation bus plunged into a river early on September 30.
Police said the night super bus, travelling from Tura to State capital Shillong, fell off a bridge into the Ringdi River in East Garo Hills district.
“Five people died on the spot. The injured were first taken to the Rongjeng Primary Health Centre, from where the critically injured were shifted to the civil hospital at Williamnagar,” a senior police officer said.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
