Jayshree Surendran was injured after she was thrown off balance when the driver of ‘Christen’, a limited stop private bus plying on the Erattupetta-Ernakulam route, suddenly applied the brakes. Though she pleaded with the bus crew to take her to a hospital, they instead forced her to alight, according to reports.
