On Thursday, a routine drive turned chaotic at the YMCA crossroad in Ahmedabad in the afternoon when an accident escalated into a physical altercation.

According to a formal complaint filed at the Anand Nagar Police Station, the incident occurred around 3.30 PM when a yellow Jalaram Travels bus rear-ended a Mahindra XUV 700 car, causing significant damage to the vehicle.  

The complainant, Jaidipsinh Zala, a businessman, reported that he was travelling with his wife Priyamvada Zala, their children, and their driver Akashbhai Vasudev when the accident occurred. After the collision, Zala and his family exited the car to assess the damage, noting a visible dent on the rear right side and damage to the deck door.

The bus driver, identified as Kishanji Bhupatji Thakor, allegedly became confrontational when asked to pull over, and three other individuals, including a man named Jayesh Patel, joined him.  

The complainant alleged that the group used abusive language and attempted physical assault, creating a tense situation. As the dispute unfolded, Zala contacted the police and the bus owner, Vishal Thakkar, who confirmed the driver’s identity. However, before authorities could intervene, the bus left the scene, heading toward Sarkhej.  

The police are investigating the case and have registered an FIR under applicable sections for causing an accident, verbal abuse, and physical assault. They are also working to identify the other two individuals involved in the altercation.
