Telangana: Thief steals RTC bus from Siddipet bus stand along with passengers

In a bizarre incident, a thief stole a TSRTC bus from the Siddipet bus station and drove the vehicle with passengers. The thief, dressed as an RTC driver, drove the bus in a haphazard manner and even collected fare from the Hyderabad-bound passengers.

The incident was reported on Sunday night when the Jubilee Bus station-bound TSRTC bus, which started from Sircilla, reached the Siddipet depot. As the driver parked the bus to have food, the thief got into the driver's seat. Then, he started the bus and drove with the Hyderabad-bound passengers. Meanwhile, the unknown man also collected ticket fare from the passengers.

When the bus reached the Jillella Crossroad, the bus veered off the road and the thief could somehow stop the bus. The worried passengers, who were suspicious of his driving got down from the bus and questioned the driver. But the thief jumped out of the driving seat and fled. 

According to reports, the RTC officials have lodged a complaint with the Siddipet police. Few passengers have shot a video of the 'driver’ on their mobile phones which went viral on social media platforms.
