In a shocking incident of road rage, a driver of a Mira-Bhayander Municipal Corporation (MBMC) bus was brutally assaulted by a mob in Kopri, Thane, leaving him unconscious with severe injuries.

The incident occurred on April 10 at the final bus stop in Thane East. The victim, identified as Shankar Gajanan Chavan, was driving a bus from Mira Bhayandar to Thane when a dispute broke out with a two-wheeler rider near Gaimukh Ghat after the biker allegedly cut in front of the moving bus.

Despite reportedly apologising and moving ahead, the biker, identified as Nilesh Shinde, allegedly followed the bus and called his associates.

When the bus reached the Kopri depot, a group of 5–7 people, including a woman, boarded the vehicle and launched a violent attack on the driver. Armed with wooden sticks, they assaulted him inside the bus, dragged him out onto the road, and continued beating him mercilessly.

The driver sustained serious head injuries and lost consciousness. The attackers also reportedly assaulted the conductor and damaged the ticketing machine.

The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras installed inside the bus, which clearly show the accuse entering the vehicle and carrying out the assault.

Police from Kopri station have registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including attempt to murder and obstruction of government duty. The accused are currently absconding, and efforts are underway to identify and arrest them using CCTV footage.

The incident has raised serious concerns over the safety of public transport staff, especially in cases of escalating road rage.
