The bus driver, Kallappa, has been booked for causing death by negligence and was released on station bail.

Roshan, originally from Kushalnagar in Kodagu district, is survived by his parents, wife, and 18-month-old child.

A senior traffic official cautioned two-wheeler riders against risky overtaking near heavy vehicles, noting that accidents often occur when riders brush against adjacent vehicles or swerve suddenly to avoid potholes.
