A 21-year-old man was arrested for stabbing to 2 persons in a crowded BEST bus in Malad following a fight over a seat. The accused had asked one of his victims, sitting on a seat reserved for women to vacate it which led to a fight between them, Hindustan Times reported.

The incident happened last week when Inshad Shaikh (20), boarded a BEST bus at 6.30 pm with his friends, Akbar (20) and Sameer (20), to go home from Aksa Beach. Inshad was standing where Akbar and Sameer were sitting next to each other. A few minutes later when Inshad got a seat, the accused, Karan Vilya (21), who boarded the bus with the trio from the same stop, asked him to vacate his seat, claiming that it was reserved for women, said police. Inshad, who refused to vacate the seat, claimed that it was a general one.
