PUNE: At least 27 passengers on board a private luxury bus from Jejuri to Mumbai had a lucky escape on Sunday, after their vehicle caught fire near Chandani Chowk on the Katraj-Dehu Road Bypass around 2pm.
Aniket Kadam, an autorickshaw driver, first noticed sparks emanating from the bus engine and forced the driver to halt. With help from locals, Kadam helped the passengers, driver and cleaner disembark safely.
