A BEST bus conductor was allegedly assaulted by yet to be identified passenger in Mumbai's Chembur area last week, and city transport unions have alleged that the accused have not yet been arrested since the CCTV cameras inside the bus and those at the bus stops were non-functional.

The incident took place on June 11, the bus conductor, Balu Suryavanshi, was working on bus route No. 367 (AC) at around 7:40 pm. While the bus was going from Kurla Bus Station East to Gadkari Quarry, a passenger argued with the bus driver.

The passenger, after getting down at Swastik Chamber Bus Station, got his friends, chased the bus in an auto-rickshaw, and entered the bus before reaching Gadkari Quarry Bus Stop to attack him.
