PALAKKAD: "Sir, I am going to Coimbatore to drink tea. I will get down there, drink tea and come back on the same bus. Maybe tomorrow also I will enter the same bus to go and drink tea” The hilarious exchange took place between a passenger and an MVD official inside Robin bus. After delaying the journey and stopping the vehicle at multiple locations, the MVD got inside the bus and had the audacity to ask the passenger where he was heading. Little did they expect such a riposte from the passenger.

Locals and travellers started questioning the officials after the MVD continuously stopped the bus that started from Pathanamthitta at 5 am today. The officials stumbled in front of people's questions and were seen in stoic silence. With this, locals and passengers started to boo at the officials and a huge crowd from outside also joined in to shame the MVD officials.

As the vehicle has now passed Walayar check post, the MVD in total have stopped the vehicle five times today and hefted a fine of Rs 30,000 citing permit issues.
