IndiGo bus seized by Kerala motor vehicles department

A bus used by the IndiGo airlines at the Kozhikode international airport was seized by the Kerala Motor Vehicles department (MVD) citing tax dues on Tuesday.

The incident raised many eyebrows as it happened a day after IndiGo imposed a three week travel ban on senior CPM leader E P Jayarajan, who is also the convenor of the ruling Left Democratic Front in Kerala.

Motor Vehicles department officials said that the vehicle was seized during a routine checking and it had no connection with the action taken by the airline against the CPM leader.

A team led by a joint road transport officer of Feroke in Kozhikode seized the vehicle.
