A worrying incident has surfaced involving a Karnataka state-run bus that was allegedly operating without functional headlights. Reports indicate the driver resorted to using a mobile phone's torchlight to navigate the road, raising serious safety concerns.
The incident, captured in a video, shows the bus moving in what appears to be low-light conditions, with a torch beam from a mobile device illuminating the path ahead. The use of such makeshift lighting for a public transport vehicle poses a significant risk to passengers and other road users.
Further details regarding the specific route, the time of the incident, and the bus operator are awaited, but the footage highlights a lapse in vehicle maintenance and adherence to road safety standards for public transportation.
