The family members of the victims in the Volvo bus inferno at Palem in Mahaboobnagar district went to the Ministers' residence and tried to attack the Transport Minister and PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana's residence.  When they were stopped in their attempt by the police high tension prevailed at the scene.

A scuffle went on between the police and the protesters who demanded payment of compensation and action against the bus owners responsible for the loss.

Expressing their anguish for the Government’s inability to arrest any person so far they said that the culprits are moving free and their beloved were charred to death beyond recognition in the horrified incident of Volvo bus catching fire due to driver’s negligence which was confirmed by the investigating authorities.

The incident took place on October 30 in which 44 passengers were burnt and they were so disfigured that their relatives could not recognize them to claim the bodies.  DNA tests were to be conducted to recognize them and hand over the bodies to their respective relatives.
