The Maharashtra Motor Vehicles department has taken steps to revoke the driving license of bus driver Sanjay More after a tragic accident in Kurla on December 9 resulted in the deaths of nine people and injuries to around 40 others.

The Regional Transport Office at Wadala issued a show-cause notice to More as part of the licence revocation process. Deputy Regional Transport Officer Pallavi Kothawade confirmed the development, noting that further actions under the Motor Vehicles Act would follow based on More's response to the notice.

The accident involved an electric bus wet-leased by the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport undertaking, which collided with several vehicles. Given the accident's severity, Mumbai police called for the revocation of More's licence, which he had held for 23 years. More, employed by a third-party agency supplying drivers to EVEY TRANS, started driving the e-bus model involved in the incident in December.
