5 of Family Found Dead in Greater Noida Under Suspicious Circumstances; Cops Suspect Food Poisoning

Greater Noida: A quiet residential neighbourhood in Greater Noida was struck by immense tragedy after five members of a single family were found dead inside their home under mysterious circumstances, just hours after reportedly eating noodles together. The sudden demise of the family members has sent shockwaves across the region, triggering an urgent police investigation.

Key Details of the Accident

According to preliminary reports and eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred during peak commuting hours when the local road was crowded with pedestrians, e-rickshaws, and daily wage workers.

The DTC bus was reportedly travelling at high speed when the driver lost control. Before the driver could bring the bus to a halt, it ploughed into bystanders on the roadside, dragging at least one victim several meters.

One victim succumbed to severe injuries on the spot, while at least four others sustained serious injuries and fractures. “The bus suddenly veered off course without any warning. People started screaming and running, but those standing near the pavement were caught before anyone could react,” said a local vendor who witnessed the crash.

Police Investigation & Medical Response

A local police team, accompanied by emergency medical personnel, arrived shortly after being alerted by bystanders. The injured were immediately rushed to a nearby government hospital, where they are currently receiving treatment.

The deceased was taken into custody by local police and sent for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death. Police secured the accident scene and detained the bus driver for questioning.

Authorities have registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) covering rash driving and causing death by negligence.

Forensic teams are conducting a mechanical inspection of the DTC bus to determine whether a mechanical glitch, brake failure, or driver negligence caused the crash.

This accident has renewed safety concerns regarding the operation and maintenance of public transit buses across Delhi.

Residents gathered at the scene, demanding stricter enforcement of speed limits in congested market corridors and thorough safety audits for the public transit fleet to prevent such tragic incidents from recurring.
