When he reached the traffic signal in front of the mall, the private school bus hit a pedestrian woman on her shoulder while she was trying to cross the road. He claimed that the bus left without stopping. He claimed that he and a youth - who had accompanied the woman along with a few others- managed to stop the bus on the link road at the junction to confront the bus driver regarding his negligent actions.

Mohanansundaram stated that the traffic personnel had approached the spot and started questioning the delivery agent regarding why he had intervened in the matter and slapped him numerous times.

The Swiggy delivery person also added that the traffic cop had taken away his earphones, mobile phone, and the key to his two-wheeler. Later on, the cop handed over the key back to Mohanansundaram after he apologised to him as he was in a hurry to deliver the food.

According to reports, an internal inquiry has also been ordered into the incident, announced the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) S.R. Senthilkumar.
