A fleet of over 30 buses belonging to a private operator was reportedly set on fire by a mob in a depot on Monday in Bengaluru amid the Cauvery water sharing row.

However, the Managing Director of Salem headquartered KPN Tours and Travels Limited Rajesh Natarajan claimed that 40 of his buses were set on fire.

"Around 40 of our buses were set on fire," Natarajan told PTI here.

He said many of his buses were insured.

Some reports, however, suggested that about 30 buses belonging to Tamil Nadu were set on fire in the Karnataka capital.
