A Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus was vandalized and set ablaze by angry residents in the Nangloi area of Delhi after it allegedly ran over a pedestrian, police said.
The incident led to unrest in the locality as people gathered at the spot, threw stones at the bus and damaged the windows of several vehicles.
The Delhi Fire Services (DFS) said it received a call about a DTC bus on fire at around 10 am and completely extinguished the flames by 11 am.
This is the second incident involving a DTC bus in Delhi in recent days, with a scooter rider dying after being run over by a DTC bus in Uttam Nagar West Metro Station on Tuesday.
Public transport buses on Delhi roads were involved in around 150 accidents, including 40 fatal crashes, in 2024-25, according to a report by PTI.
