The Chabahil area of the capital remained tense for a while when a local bus ran over a school boy on Friday morning.
Seven-year-old Iron Lama, who was seriously injured in the incident, was rushed to nearby Om hospital where he soon breathed his last. He was going to school with his friends when the passenger bus hit him while crossing the road.
The deceased is the son of Mit Bahadur Lama, a resident of Kavre district, and studied at Pashupati Mitra Secondary School, Chabahil.
Angry students, locals and relatives soon blocked traffic in the very busy Chabhahil area after the accident and demanded punishment to driver and proper compensation to victim's family.
Police had to resort to baton-charge to take the situation under control. In the process, many, including pedestrians, were injured.
The bus and its driver are currently under police custody. nepalnews.com
