Two weeks after visuals of the freestyle brawl between a bus driver and a two-wheeler rider at Loni Station Chowk went viral, another fight involving a PMPML driver and passengers has now gone viral.
On Wednesday morning, a fight broke out on a PMPML bus after a passenger was prevented from boarding via the rear door, which is against the bus service's regulations. The event occurred on Bus No. 167A, which travels from Wagholi to Bhekrai Nagar, close to Amanora Mall, at approximately 9:15 a.m.
The video of the altercation has gone viral on social media, where the man was seen fighting hand-to-hand with the driver of the bus, and the conductor was recording the video. One of the passengers intervened to stop the duo.
As per the information shared by Surendra Dangat, Depot Manager of Bhekrai Nagar, speaking to Free Press Journal, he said, "The incident took place around 9 a.m. in the morning when a passenger tried to get off from the back door near Amanora Mall. The bus was crowded, and unfortunately, he missed getting off at the stop he needed. The driver told him to get off the bus at the next stop, which led to an argument between them, and later, the argument turned into a physical altercation. A complaint has been lodged in the department."
