The
suspension
of
driver
has
evoked
mixed
response
on
social
media.
"Yes
I
can
understand.
Even
I
would've
politely
told
the
driver
to
keep
the
monkey
on
side
seat.
But
suspension
is
bit
too
much
for
a
poor
bus
driver,
said
a
twitterati.
Another commented, "Yeah indeed sweet, it would hv been more sweeter or even sweetest if u had a first hand experience by sitting in front passenger seat. It's the safety of the passengers which was stake.'

"Good
that
action
is
taken
and
he
is
suspended,
but
clearly
he
is
in
wrong
job,
this
man
is
a
sensitive
animal
lover
(see
how
langur
trusts
him)
and
could
be
an
asset
in
wildlife
related
jobs.
But
unfortunately
Indian
authorities/decision
makers
are
too
incompetent
to
value
these."
