Thereafter, on 08.08.2025 the petitioner again made a written complaint, in which he disclosed the another registration number of bus bearing UP72 BT 3858 and then the investigation of the case is re-opened and the police is trying to trace out the owner as well as driver of the said passenger bus of bearing registration No. UP72 BT 3858.
