Sanjay More, the accused in the Kurla bus tragedy, has claimed that he saw a spark before losing control of the electric vehicle that mowed down pedestrians on SG Barve Marg on the night of December 9. However, Ganesh Gawade, DCP, Zone V, told mid-day that reports from both the BEST and RTO found no fault with the automatic vehicle.
 
Advocate Samadhan Sulane, More’s lawyer told mid-day on Friday, “The Kurla police allowed me to speak with More today, and the first thing he told me was to get him out of jail. He told me that he saw a spark while driving the bus and got scared, causing him to lose control of the automatic bus. More also said that he had no experience driving such vehicles.”
