BEST Bus Conductor Slaps Passenger For Recording Argument; Police Responds (VIDEO)

Mumbai: A video has recently been posted by a BEST passenger who faced a violent bus conductor who allegedly slapped him for recording the video of a ongoing argument with another passenger. The whole incident was captured on video where the conductor is seen yelling “video shooting mat kar.”

The exact location of the incident is not mentioned by the X user (@Amarjee41233274), but in the recently uploaded video, the caption reads, “एका बस प्रवासा ला मारण्यात आले आहे तर हे कृत्य बस कंडक्टर या व्यक्तीने केलेला आहे, ही परवानगी शासन देते का ? जर नसेल देत तर या इसम वर त्वरित कारवाई झाली पाहिजे,जेणे करून कुठल्याही प्रवासाला यापुढे त्रास होता कामा नये” the post caption translates to, “If a bus passenger is killed, does the government allow this act to be committed by a person called the bus conductor? If not, then immediate action should be taken against this person, so that no further travel is disturbed”

The video abruptly starts in between an argument between the BEST bus conductor and another passenger where the conductor was seen saying “I am not telling you to step out of the bus” while walking to the other exit door of the bus when the person recording the video asked “but does he have to get down?” repetatively asking and calling the bus conductor by tapping his arm, making the conductor turn around and in aggression slapping the passenger recording the video for recording yelling “don’t shoot video” and tries to snatch the passengers phone while other passenger, came forward siding the passenger and yelling “why shouldn’t he shoot the video” while the conductor kept repeating “video shooting nahi karneka, video shooting mat kar”. Another passenger broke up the altercation by telling the conductor to stop and calm down while telling the other passengers to do whatever they wanted. When the passenger revealed that he had a ticket and yet the conductor was being rude to him for no reason, the conductor yelled at him yet again to stop talking and sit down.
