According to the police, the incident occurred around 8.45 pm on January 15 when the passenger, Praveen Arul Prasad (31), boarded a special service operated for Pongal from Ennore to Marina Beach.

The display board on the bus showed a different destination, which triggered an argument between Prasad and the conductor, Madesh.
