The 42-year-old driver was thrashed by a motorcycle rider after his bus grazed the bike from behind in the city's Mundka area.

The biker and his mother, who was riding pillion, fell on the ground after the accident which sparked off an argument and scuffle between them.

Ashok's son said he was brought in an unconscious condition to the hospital and was declared brought dead by doctors.

The biker left the spot before the police could reach and is yet to be arrested.
