Batra, a resident of Pitampura in northwest Delhi, was rushed to a hospital, where he was declared brought dead.
He became the 17th victim of privately-run Blueline buses this year. At least 120 people were killed last year in road accidents involving these public transports buses.
The police said the bus driver, Balwan Singh, was arrested and a case was registered at the Defence Colony police station.
The 4,000-odd Blueline buses, a crucial part of Delhi’s public transport system, have earned public ire for reckless driving.
