Kolkata: A bus conductor, Vishnu Sahu, allegedly pushed a passenger, Md Aziz, off a moving bus following a fare dispute on Monday near Beckbagan. Aziz was injured and needed medical attention.
Sahu was later arrested from his Howrah residence.
According to Aziz, the conductor demanded an amount higher than the usual fare, which led to an argument between the two.
The situation escalated when Aziz reportedly tried calling his relatives to AJC Bose Road-Rawdon Street crossing to ‘settle' the matter.
"Sahu claimed that Aziz fell and nothing was deliberate," said an officer.
