Kathmandu, August 5:

Irate people today set ablaze a minibus belonging to Mid-Valley Bus Entrepreneurs’ Association at Bijuli Baazar after it collided with a motorbike.

“When I was heading to Ratna Park at around 9:25 am, I saw a motorbike falling at one side and two people suddenly attacked me even without talking to me,” said Ram Prasad Baga, the driver of the bus.
