An unidentified bus travelling from Dimna towards Mango struck him during the walk, leaving him critically injured. Panic broke out at the spot soon after the accident. Local residents rushed to help and took the injured man to MGM Hospital for immediate treatment.
Doctors at the hospital began treating Sharma upon his arrival. However, he succumbed to his injuries during the course of treatment due to the severity of the wounds he had sustained. Uliyan police reached the spot after being informed of the accident and launched a preliminary investigation.
The body has since been taken into police custody and sent to MGM Medical College for a post-mortem examination.
