Several reacted to the video
The video evoked a flurry of reactions on Twitter.
Advocate Trivankumar Karnani, lawyer at Bombay High Court and founder of Citizen Welfare forum MNCDF said, "Such illegal acts constitute a fleet of criminal offences. The police must take suo moto cognizance & investigate to detect, identify & penalise the accused."
"Wow this is too much. Having to cling to the back of the bus is so dangerous. And yet people are willing to take the risk for sake of reaching the office. This is life in our cities," one user wrote.
"Vasai -Virar Muncipality area is worst in Mumbai Metropolis Area. City is growing on only because of private residences building as well illegal residence property which contributes more on population. Commercial space is only for shops & local business not a core for population," another user remarked.
