The bus was traveling to Kozhikode from Manjeri when it stopped to deboard passengers, allowing an autorickshaw to overtake it. When the bus driver later attempted to pass the autorickshaw, the driver refused to let him. Despite the bus driver's persistent honking, the autorickshaw driver brandished a machete and threatened to use it if the bus overtook him. A video of the incident, recorded from the bus, went viral.
