[Resolved]  Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] — Harassment for suspicion of being out of state

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka, 560097

On the morning of 26.02.2017, at about 0810, I was driving on New BEL road along with my wife and 2 small children. There was a BMTC bus ahead of me Ka – 01 / F – 9429 Route number 276. The road was otherwise almost empty. This bus was ahead of me at M S Ramiah hospital signal. At the bus stop he stopped in the middle of the way and didn’t allow me to pass. I horned to let him know I was waiting behind him. Then after some time he began to move but still didn’t let me pass. After the central median was over, I tried overtaking him on his right, but he didn’t allow me and tried to block me completely. He was weaving left and right just to avoid me passing him. He didn’t even slow down on 2 humps on the road to prevent me from passing him. Finally, just before the CPRI bus stand, I managed to overtake him on his left.
At the Sadashivanagar police station signal, it was red and I had stopped. The bus came and stopped too. The conductor and driver of the bus got down and started banging the driver window scaring my wife and children. As I opened my window the driver started punching my face and mouth causing loosening of left upper tooth. He also forcibly pulled out the keys of my car causing damage. I got down and he was shouting at me for driving a Tamil Nadu registered car and how we have taken away his jobs. He was abusing everyone in my family and called my wife names in front of her and my parents too. It took 2 police to calm him and send him away.
The main message I got was that he thought that I was a Tamilian and being a doctor I could be bullied. I am a doctor of good standing for the past 13 years. I was born in Bangalore and have lived here for 37 years. Just because I drove a relative’s car which is registered in a different state, a Kannada goon cannot threaten me and my family. I know that the moment I give such a complaint, my car will be damaged by the BMTC mafia, but my pride in being a Bangalorean is hurt.
I request BMTC to suspend the said driver and send him for psychological evaluation. He has damaged my property, Insulted my wife in front of my children, Insulted my state thinking I was from outside, Such a guy will commit murder the next time.
