Videos on social media show people puzzled by what was written on the electronic board
A bus conductor in Madhya Pradesh, angry over losing his job, eventually showed how he got his payback in a way that everyone in town noticed it. Everyone on the internet, however, also saw it.
Local reports say the employer, Sukheja Bus Services, fired the conductor. The long-distance bus ran between Madhya Pradesh's Satna and Indore, some 650 km apart.
In a defiant act of farewell, the bus conductor reportedly tweaked the words on the electronic display board of the bus to say, "Ma******d Sukheja."
He also reportedly changed the password to access the display.

They walk up to the driver, who obviously did not know, and appear to be telling him to check.
Delhi-based photojournalist Roshan Abbas tweeted a video of the bus.
"From Indore, a bus conductor was laid off after being abused by some Sukheja Bus Services. The conductor decided to land one final blow by changing the display's password. A new display costs Rs 55,000 and a two-day journey to Bombay. Revenge served cold," Mr Abbas tweeted.
The driver switched off the electronic display board after he realised what had just happened, say reports.
