In Gopalganj, Bihar, a mob attacked a school bus with children onboard during the Bharat bandh on Wednesday, organized by Dalit and Adivasi groups protesting a Supreme Court decision on reservations for Scheduled Castes. The mob attempted to set the bus on fire, with a man seen burning a tyre underneath the vehicle. The road was blocked with burning tyres. Fortunately, police and district authorities intervened promptly, preventing the situation from escalating. A video of the incident shows the bus surrounded by people armed with sticks. Authorities' swift action averted a potential disaster.
