PASSENGERS on a government-operated bus in Tamil Nadu were shocked when the driver got into a brawl with another bus driver and conductor, Makkal Osai reported.

Bus No. 70 in Chennai, driven by Sivakumar, found itself blocked by another government bus after dropping off passengers in Thambaram.

Punniamoorhthy who was driving the other bus, and his conductor, Balakumar, refused to move the bus despite Sivakumar asking them, and this turned into an argument.

Sivakumar challenged them to board his bus, and when the two men did so, he simply closed the automatic doors and drove away.

Balakumar tried to stop the bus by wrangling the gear lever and pulling the handbrake, which resulted in an infuriated Sivakumar stopping the bus and brawling with them.

They eventually stopped fighting, and the two men left the bus, leaving the passengers stunned.

The incident went viral online, and authorities are investing the episode.
