A court in Mumbai sentenced a BEST bus driver to three months in jail for injuring a cyclist in January 2021 in the metropolis' Pedder Road area after observing that someone driving a public transport vehicle in a negligent manner poses a serious risk to passengers as well as other road users, reported news agency PTI.

It also turned down his plea for leniency on the ground that it was his first offence in a 28-year career saying such a move "will send a wrong signal in the society", reported PTI.
