Drivers made to do sit-ups
Earlier in December, Suburban private bus drivers were made to do 100 sit-ups atop their buses for breaking speed limits in Indore city in Madhya Pradesh by the public in front of the Rau City Council. Private buses in Indore that were speeding near the city council were stopped by the public near the City Council office and the bus drivers were made to climb atop their buses and do 100 sit-ups each as punishment.
The residents of Rau district in Indore, Madhya Pradesh were fed up of accidents and lack of pedestrian safety due to speeding buses. Their locality is densely congested and pedestrians lives are always in danger. Eye-witnesses told ANI that as many as five private bus drivers were forced to climb on the roof of their buses and made to do 100 sit-ups each as punishment for speeding. A video recording of the humiliation went viral on social media.
