A section of private bus operators in the city went on a flash strike on Saturday morning, alleging police ‘high-handedness’ in the wake of a rashly-driven bus ramming into a car at Kaloor on Friday.
A senior police officer said the police took strict action against the bus crew after they threatened the car passengers who took pictures of the accident and the damage caused to their car.

We have identified such people, they added.
