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.

SC judges to make their assets public, amid row over cash at Justice Yashwant Varma’s house: Report
New Delhi: The Supreme Court judges have reportedly agreed to disclose their assets to the public by publishing the same on the top court's website.
The decision was taken recently at a full court meeting and a resolution in this regard was adopted which will apply to future judges as well, as reported by Bar and Bench on Thursday.
A copy of the resolution is yet to be made public.
According to the report, the decision was taken in the wake of recent controversies surrounding opacity in the functioning of the judiciary, especially after a huge pile of cash was allegedly discovered at the residence of Justice Yashwant Varma, currently a judge of the Allahabad High Court.
The publication of assets on website was not mandatory earlier but was discretionary subject to whether an individual judge wanted to do the same, the report added.
