A techie on his way home to Koteshwara from Bengaluru died in the bus, reportedly following a heart attack.
25-year-old Chaitanya, who was working as a software engineer in Marathahalli, Bengaluru, boarded a bus for Durgamba on Monday at 9 pm. He called his father K K Vishnu Murthy at around 6.30 am to say he was near Barkur.

A case has been registered at the Kundapur police station. It is suspected that the youth died following a heart attack.
In March, an engineering student travelling in a private bus from Bengaluru to Kundapur also reportedly died after a heart attack.
