A 17-year-old girl sustained injuries after falling from an AMTS bus near the Dadasaheb Pagla bus stop on Gujarat University road on Monday. The incident, which initially sparked speculation of a possible jump, has now been clarified by police as an accidental fall while alighting from the bus.

According to a statement from Police Inspector A M Thakor of the B Division Traffic Police, the bus was stationed at the designated AMTS stop near Dadasaheb Pagla when the incident occurred.
