A tense situation unfolded near Dharmaram in Jagityal district when a group of youths, reportedly under the influence of Ganjāyi, created unrest at a petrol bunk and targeted a tourist bus carrying students from a Warangal-based educational institution. The students, who were returning from a tour, were shocked as an unexpected confrontation began in front of the public and the bunk staff.
Reports indicate that the youths had already argued with several individuals before the arrival of the bus. Witnesses observed that the group appeared intoxicated and uncontrollable, behaving aggressively and disturbing customers. Their (Ganjāyi)-influenced behavior drew immediate concern from the petrol bunk workers, who struggled to manage the situation.
Miscreants Turn Attention Toward the Tourist Bus
As the tourist bus reached the location to refuel, the Ganjāyi-influenced youths shifted their aggression toward the bus and its passengers. The group surrounded the vehicle, shouted at the students, and harassed the driver. The students initially stayed inside the bus, hoping the disturbance would settle, but the attackers continued to escalate the situation.
Students Decide to Defend Themselves
Unable to tolerate the harassment any longer, a few students confronted the youths to protect their peers. They questioned the attackers’ behavior, asking them to step away from the bus and stop creating fear. The unity of the students forced the miscreants to back off temporarily, changing the direction of the confrontation.
CCTV Evidence Captures the Entire Incident
Throughout the disturbance, CCTV cameras at the bunk recorded the harassment, confrontation, and the students’ defensive response. The petrol bunk owner and the educational institution collected the footage and submitted it as evidence to law enforcement officials. This recording has now become a key part of the investigation.
Police Complaint Filed; Identification Underway
A formal police complaint has been filed, and authorities have begun identifying the Ganjāyi-influenced youths involved in the attack. Statements from the students, the bus driver, and petrol bunk employees are being documented. Police officials confirmed that further action will be taken based on the CCTV visuals.
Safety Concerns and Community Reactions
The incident has raised serious questions about public safety, student protection, and drug-influenced behavior in public spaces. Parents, teachers, and locals stressed the urgency for strict action so similar situations do not endanger innocent people again. The petrol bunk owner requested regular patrolling to maintain safety in the area.
This event stands as a reminder of how Ganjāyi-influenced behavior can escalate into a dangerous public confrontation when not controlled. It also shows how the students’ courage and unity prevented the situation from becoming even more harmful. As the investigation moves forward, the focus remains on accountability, prevention, and ensuring such serious incidents are not repeated.
