A major accident at Samvidhan Chowk on Wednesday afternoon caused panic after an Aapli Bus lost control due to brake failure and crashed into the RBI gate. The bus (MH 40-BG 1203) was traveling from Sitabuldi to Sadar when the brakes failed near Akashwani Chowk.

At the time of the accident, around 20 to 25 passengers were on board, but fortunately, no one was injured. Only the front portion of the bus was damaged.
