An application has been filed with the Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission, requesting a transparent investigation into the Kurla accident and accountability for the authorities in BEST involved in the incident.

"This tragic incident has claimed seven lives, most of them passersby, and the BEST bus ran over several people. The driver has been arrested, but what about the other authorities in BEST? They should also be held accountable for this incident. We demand that the commission take suo motu cognisance of the matter," said advocate Pankaj Mishra, who filed the application.
