In the midst of the investigation into the tragic Kurla BEST bus accident that resulted in seven fatalities, a disturbing video has emerged showing a BEST bus driver allegedly buying alcohol while on duty. This incident reportedly took place in the Versova area of Andheri West and was recorded on video.

The footage, shared on X by a user named Raj Maji, shows the driver stopping an air-conditioned BEST bus on route A-259, which runs between Gorai Depot and Andheri Railway Station, outside a liquor shop. While passengers remained on board, the driver was seen leaving the bus, purchasing liquor, and then returning with it.

After the video surfaced, MNS leader Sandesh Desai addressed the Kurla accident in another video, drawing parallels with the recent incident. Desai questioned the authorities about what actions they would take against such irresponsible conduct.
