A bloody road rage case has emerged in the Mira-Bhayandar region of Thane district where a driver of a Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) bus was purportedly attacked by some men. The assault took place at Gaymukh Ghat after a small argument which was allegedly initiated by a biker trying to overtake the bus. What started as a petty dispute, soon turned into a serious incidence of violence, which highlighted the increasing cases of road rage in the area.
Reportedly, five to six unknown people attacked the driver and physically assaulted him. One of the videos that have since gone viral on social media is CCTV footage of the inside of the bus showing the attackers entering the vehicle, some with sticks in their hands, and then attacking the driver. The men are observed tugging at his shirt, trying to get him out of his seat, then after a while, they get him out of the bus and proceed to beat him up. Regarding the complaint of the driver, a case has been filed against unknown people at Kopar Police Station against the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
In the wake of this incident came another incident last month of the same nature with an MBMC bus driver that had led to protests against transport workers. In the same instance, a biker was accused of assaulting a motorist during an argument over route number 17 between Mira road railway station and Vinay Nagar in Kashimira. The assault caused a flash strike by the bus personnel, which disrupted services and impacted on commuters. Governments are now being pressured to make sure that there is tougher action and better precautionary measures to make sure that such incidences do not repeat.
