Talking to GPlus, an official from the institute said, "There were minor injuries reported but only on the faculties."

Meanwhile, a student of USTM on conditions of anonymity said, "Not only faculties, there were students too who got injured; they were with blood. I was in the bus itself. If anything happens to us, who’s going to take the responsibility? They should keep on servicing the bus. It was an unfortunate incident, but it’s the fault of the management."
