Summary:

As the convict was already in the jail and as per the law’s provision, he has already served two-year sentence and there is possibility that he will be released soon. After the incident, the truck driver fled the spot. Of the 14 students waiting there, nine were killed on the spot, two succumbed to their injuries later and two were injured.
