The matter was reported on December 21 when the bus tyre exploded moments after being inflated. The forceful blast of the tyre propelled Abdul and led to a hand injury, for which he was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital.
The visuals showed a school bus reading "Bearys seaside public school" parked in front of the shop and getting one of its tyres repaired.
Initially, it showed Abdul standing next to a tyre and inflating it. Seconds after he was done and walking away, the tyre unexpectedly exploded.
Previous tyre burst incident on NH66
Earlier this month, in a similar case, a tempo carrying fish witnessed a tyre in Udupi, Karnataka. Due to the incident, the vehicle overturned and injured two people onboard. Again, the tyre burst incident took place on the same route, NH66.
