Thrissur: The Kerala Motor Vehicles Department has suspended the licence of a private bus driver after he allegedly deviated from the approved route and sped off without realising the passengers were still onboard. The action was taken against Baiju from Chazhur, the driver of KBT bus operating on the Thriprayar–Thrissur route.

Motor Vehicle Department Enforcement Inspector PV Biju ordered to suspend the licence for one month based on a formal complaint filed by Thriprayar Joint RTO Manjula, who was travelling on the bus at the time of the incident while returning home to Thrissur after work.

During the enforcement drive, the Motor Vehicles Department collected ₹1.04 lakh in penalties from 11 private buses that violated route conditions and diverted without proper authorisation.
