A Kalyana Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (KKRTC) allegedly operated without functioning headlights, forcing the conductor to use a mobile phone torch to help the driver navigate the road. A video of the incident has now gone viral on social media.
The incident reportedly occurred on the last bus service from Kalaburagi City to Chincholi, a town located around 90 kilometres away.
The video showed the driver operating the vehicle on a pitch-dark road without headlights while the conductor used a faint mobile phone torch in an attempt to help navigate.
