Bidar: Unable to find bus for his village, man starts driving govt bus, rams into divider
Bidar: A man was apprehended in Aurad by the police after he took matters into his own hands due to frustration over the unavailability of a bus to return home. The incident occurred outside the Aurad bus stand on Monday, resulting in a minor accident with no reported casualties.
The individual taken into custody has been identified as Yashappa Suryavamshi. Reports suggest that he was allegedly under the influence of alcohol when he commandeered a government bus and drove it. Earlier that day, Suryavamshi had been waiting at the Aurad bus stand, hoping to catch a bus to his village. However, growing increasingly agitated by the absence of transportation, he seized an opportunity when the driver and conductor of one of the buses were momentarily absent.
Without authorization, Suryavamshi took control of the bus and attempted to leave the bus stand. In his haste, he collided with the road divider and an adjacent parked jeep. The commotion caused panic among the passengers on board, prompting some nearby individuals to intervene. The people on the road managed to convince Suryavamshi to halt the bus and exit the vehicle.
Upon receiving information about the incident, the police arrived at the scene and detained Suryavamshi, subsequently transferring him to the Aurad Police Station. SP Rathod, the depot manager of the Kalyana Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (KKRTC), confirmed that Suryavamshi had consumed alcohol. Frustrated by the delay in the arrival of a bus bound for his village, he chose to drive a bus designated for the Bidar route, resulting in the collision with the divider. Fortunately, no casualties occurred as a result of his reckless behavior. A formal police complaint has been filed against Suryavamshi by the KKRTC.

'Strong evidence' available against Saif attacker, police tell court while opposing his bail plea
Mumbai, Jul 25 (PTI): Police have opposed the bail plea of the Bangladeshi national arrested for allegedly stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan with a knife and injuring him at his home here in January this year, telling a Mumbai court there was "strong evidence" against the accused.
Citing a Forensic Science Laboratory report, police reiterated before the sessions court their earlier claim knife fragments that got lodged near the actor's spine during the attack as well as a part found at the crime spot have matched with the weapon recovered from the accused, Shariful Islam.
These three pieces were part of the same weapon (knife) used to attack the filmstar, the police said in a written response to the accused's plea submitted in the court on Thursday (July 24).
Khan was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by an intruder inside his 12th floor apartment in upscale Bandra on January 16 during a robbery attempt.
The 54-year-old actor underwent surgery at Lilavati Hospital to remove a piece of knife that got lodged near his spine during the attack. He was discharged from the private hospital after five days.
Shariful Islam, a Bangladeshi national, was arrested two days later for allegedly stabbing Khan.
The police, in their response, highlighted that the accused is a Bangladeshi citizen residing illegally in India.
If granted bail, there was a possibility that he may flee India and not appear before the court during the trial. The crime committed by the accused is of a "very serious nature, and strong evidence" is available against him, they argued.
In his bail plea, filed through advocate Vipul Dushing, the accused asserted he was innocent and had no prior criminal record.
Investigation into the case has practically concluded with only the filing of a chargesheet pending, the accused contended while seeking bail.
The alleged attacker has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections related to house trespass, robbery and dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous injury.
