Bengaluru A 26-year-old bus painter was crushed to death inside a workshop in the limits of the Wilson Garden Police Station on Tuesday. The deceased has been identified as M.D. Irfan, a native of Bihar. He was working at S.M. Kannappa Automobiles. His uncle, Mohammed Sayum, who was as a bus painter at the workshop, lodged a complaint.
