According to police, miscreants pelted stones at the vehicles at 13th Mile, Byrnihat on Wednesday night causing damage to several vehicles and injuries to some passengers.
During inquiry it was ascertained that the entry point to the weighbridge has become narrow due to ongoing road widening, which caused traffic jam in the area.

Following this, unidentified residents of the area from Assam pelted stones at the vehicles, causing damage to two night super buses (ML-08B-1111) and (ML-08D-0725) and injuries to four occupants. In the incident, the vehicle belonging to the Leader of Opposition Donkupar Roy was damaged. However, the occupants were unharmed.
