A routine bus journey took a violent turn in Annamayya district as an APSRTC bus driver was attacked by angry youth for allegedly not stopping the government bus at a village stop on Thursday.
The incident happened when the driver of a Kadiri-bound bus coming from Bengaluru allegedly did not halt the bus at Maddaiahgaripalle village in the district, leading to a group of youths pursuing the bus on motorcycles, forcing the driver to get down a few meters away, and reportedly assaulting him. A purported video that went viral on social media shows the youth assaulting the driver.`
Acting on the victim’s complaint, the police registered a case against three accused, identified as Viswanath, Ramu and Madhu Kumar, all locals of Madanapalle.
A special team was formed to arrest the trio.
