As soon as the accident took place, the girl was rushed to Sayaji Hospital where she succumbed to her injuries and died late in the night. "I shouted at the girl student, but she was busy with her mobile," Nasreenben Pathan, a female security guard at Janmahal, said, ¡°I went after the student and saw the bus.¡± 60-year-old Ranjitsinh Solanki said.

This incident took place at the Janmahal City Bus Depot of the Central ST Depot. It also caused outrage among the passengers of the depot and against the city bus driver who very evidently rammed the girl on purpose.

The footage showed how Shivani was walking inside the bus depot while talking on the phone. A bus came charging from behind her but she couldn't see it since her back was towards the vehicle. When the bus was a few inches away she turned back but it was too late for her.
