Ernakulam:A Kerala State Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus driver, who allegedly hit a guest worker with a stick at a bus stand in Angamaly town of Kerala's Ernakulam district, was suspended on Saturday.

The action was taken after examining the probe report filed by the Vigilance squad Inspector concerned, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation said in a release.

A video was also found in which the driver was seen beating up the man," KSRTC said.
