A heated exchange between a bus staff and a motorcyclist brought the traffic to a standstill at the Konanakunte Signal on the busy Kanakapura Road in Bengaluru. The confrontation between the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) staff and the biker began after the latter accused the bus driver of jumping a red light and disrupting traffic.
A video of the chaotic scene, showing vehicles, including two-wheelers and the bus, stuck in traffic went viral. The bus allegedly crossed the intersection despite the red light. Irked by this, the biker spoke with the driver, resulting in a verbal altercation.
The clip was posted to X with the caption, "Kalesh between a BMTC bus driver-conductor and a biker for allegedly jumping a signal at Konanakunte Signal on Kanakapura Road, Namma Bengaluru."
