Respected Sir,

On 8/1/07 at about 12:39 pm we were travelin on Hosur Road at Hosa Road junction towards Infosys on motorcycle (license number KA-06-R-4138) when a bus (license number TN-30-B-7221) truck us from behind and dragged us for eight meters, resulting in injury to our persons and damage to the motorcycle.

We respectfully request that the authorities take the necessary actions against the drivers and the bus company according to the law.

Thanking you,
