At 8.15 this morning, Mr Mane, a driver with the state transport corporation for 11 years, drove away from the Swargate bus depot with an empty bus. Mr Mane steered the bus as if on a rampage, lurching through Pune's main streets, packed with morning commuters. Eyewitnesses say they flung schoolchildren out of his way. Several pedestrians were hit; 27 persons were rushed to hospital.
