Despite being hit by the bus, Vishnu managed to get back on his feet.
He was reportedly taken by witnesses to a private hospital for treatment and only sustained minor injury to his legs.
The bus station authorities said a gear mishap caused the accident.
The driver tried to park the bus a few metres away from Vishnu. However, the vehicle lurched forward when the driver tried putting it in reverse gear.
Authorities are currently investigating the incident.
