Teenager thrown out of bus, dies

ALLAHABAD: Traffic on the busy Stanley Road was thrown out of gear on Monday afternoon, when a teenaged boy entered into a heated argument with a private bus driver. He was thrown out of the bus resulting his death and leading to a road blockade.
Pointedly, Nitin Mishra, originally a native of Jaunpur was residing in Unchwagarih under the Cantonment police station along with his elder sister.On Monday noon as he set of his house on a motorcycle for reaching to the examination centre in Nawabganj, a private bus plying on the route overtook him from the wrong side while driving in a rash manner.
Piqued over the callousness of the bus driver, Mishra gave him a hot chase and managed to overtake him opposite the Allahabad Blood Bank of the AMA on the Stanley Road. He asked the driver to stop and boarded the bus in a fit of rage to teach the driver a lesson. In the ensuing scuffle, unidentified persons threw him out of the bus and Mishra fell on the road sustaining grievous head injuries. He died on the spot while the bus driver sensing trouble escaped from the spot.
Locals assembled at the spot and staged a demonstration against plying of private busses on the route which they claimed posed a serious threat to the lives of commuters. They alleged that although the traffic police line was situated on the road, precious little care was taken to check the errant and illegal bus drivers. The protesters refused to hand over the victim's body to the police while Nitin's parents in Jaunpur were informed about the incident.
Busses of the UPSRTC were stopped by the locals and parked in the middle of the road to obstruct movement of traffic even as the slogans continued to raise slogans against the callousness of the police.
By the time traffic police could divert traffic, a chaotic situation had already emerged leaving commuters stranded in the middle of nowhere. It took several hours before normalcy could be restored.
