Belagavi, Sep 2: An arrogant KSRTC bus driver tried to run the bus over the students, who waved the hands to stop the bus. He has been suspended by NWRTC officials with immediate effect. 

This unbelievable incident took place in the Bekawada village of Khanapur taluk of the district. The parents of the students have urged the KSRTC senior management to take severe action against the arrogant driver. 

The suspended driver is ASF Sheikh from Dandeli division of NWRTC.

The students, as usual, were waiting at the bus stand of their village for the bus on Tuesday, September 25 to go to various colleges of Nandagad and Khanapur. They waved their hands at the bus that was going from Haliyala to Belagavi. The driver slowed down the bus as if he was allowing the students to board it. However, when the students were about to board the bus, he drove it off suddenly. It is said that, though some students went in front of the bus to prevent the driver from leaving, the bus driver did not care and drove the bus away. 

A local person filmed the whole episode in his mobile phone and shared the same on social media. Responding to the incident, tahsildar Shivananda Ullegaddi said that he informed the officials of NWRTC to take suitable action against the erring driver. Accordingly, the NWRTC officials have suspended driver ASF Sheikh.
