Meanwhile, search for once more accused is underway.

The police rushed to the spot to prevent damage to more buses. Later, officials stated that Colaba police registered an FIR against five unknown persons under sections 143,147,149,427 of IPC. They will be produced before a Magistrate Court later in the day. Those arrested also include senior MNS-VS leaders Santosh Jadhav, Bharmu Nandurka.

Meanwhile, around half-a-dozen activists of the MNS-Vahatuk Sena (Transport Wing) sneaked near the bus, pasted posters of their demands on the front of the bus, raised slogans, and started smashing the windows on Tuesday midnight, March 15.

An activist, Sanjay Naik told IANS, said that they were protesting at the manner in which buses from outside the state were hired for the purpose, depriving the locals of employment opportunities.
