The Khar police arrested a bus driver of Podar International School after he allegedly rammed the vehicle into a BMW car. Apparently, the driver blamed a piece of bamboo for the accident which he was using as a gear stick, said the police. The incident took place on Tuesday morning. The driver identified as Raj Kumar, 22, was on his way to the school when he rammed the bus into a BMW car which belongs to a businessman based in Khar. When the businessman questioned Raj about why he rammed the bus into his car, he blamed the piece of bamboo for the accident.

"The car owner checked the gear shaft and noticed a piece of bamboo being used as gear stick. He then informed the police about the accident. The beat marshals were sent to the spot to examine the bus and they too noticed the bamboo present there. When questioned, the driver told the officials that the gear knob had broken a few days ago and that he was using the bamboo stick for the past two to three days as a replacement,” said a police officer.
