Chandigarh, May 15 A 40-year-old teacher died in an accident on the Sector 47 road near Faidan barrier today.

The deceased has been identified as Anuradha Gupta, 40, a resident of Sector 20, Panchkula. She was working as a teacher in Yadavindra Public School, Mohali.

The accident occurred around 12.30 pm when Gupta, a Class X Physics teacher in YPS, was returning home from Mohali along with her colleague Kunwari Sharda, a Panchkula Sector-14 resident. The duo was on a scooter and Gupta was riding pillion.

A Punjab Roadways bus, on its way to Shimla, hit their scooter on the main Sector 47 road. Sharda fell towards the left of the road while Gupta fell on the opposite side. She was dragged by the bus before the rear wheel completely crushed her head. Anuradha was declared brought dead at GMCH, Sector 32. Sharda sustained injuries. The driver of the bus, Sarwan Singh, a resident of Tarn Taran has been arrested and a case of has been registered against him at the Sector 31 Police Station.

Eyewitnesses claimed a checkpost put up on this road by the Chandigarh Traffic Police and the placing of barricades caused the accident. They said Sharda drove to the right to navigate the barricades when she came on the main road from the slip road. It was then that the scooter was hit by the bus which was moving parallel to it. Traffic police officers, however, said the bus driver had been hired two days ago and that he was not fit for driving on long routes.

Gupta is survived by a husband and a teenaged daughter.
