Fired BPO employee who stabbed BMTC bus conductor intended to kill former boss: Police
Bengaluru: A 25-year-old passenger who stabbed a BMTC bus conductor is believed to have carried the knife to attack his ex-boss, according to police.
Harsh Sinha, a native of Jharkhand, stabbed the bus conductor, Yogesh, after he was asked to step away from the middle doors due to safety reasons.
A senior police officer told Deccan Herald that Sinha was carrying a kitchen knife while roaming the city in search of his ex-boss, after he was fired from the company on September 20, with the intention of killing him. The officer noted that the tiff with the conductor during the bus journey acted as trigger for the incident.
“He was jobless and had no clue of his future. He was also afraid his former boss might sabotage his future job prospects and prevent other companies from hiring him,” the officer was quoted as saying by the publication.
The bus conductor who was stabbed was taken to a private hospital for treatment and is reportedly out of danger.
The Whitefield police have arrested Sinha for attempted murder and are investigating the circumstances that led to his sacking.

Gujarat man held for impersonating govt official, duping people with forged letters
Ahmedabad (PTI): The Ahmedabad police have arrested a 29-year-old man who allegedly posed as a senior revenue official and used fake letters claiming to be from various government departments to cheat people, an official said on Sunday.
Mehul Shah, an engineer who manages two schools at Vankaner in Gujarat’s Morbi district, is accused of making lakhs of rupees with bogus documents and false claims, said inspector (crime branch) JK Makwana.
Shah had forged an appointment letter from the Ahmedabad district education officer (DEO) to offer a computer operator’s job in a government office to a complainant’s son. He also introduced himself as a trustee of a school and did not pay a man Rs 7 lakh due to him over the painting of a school building, the official said.
“Despite holding no official position in the state or central government, he used fake work permits and NOCs to cheat people of lakhs of rupees,” the police official said.
One complainant alleged that Shah identified himself as a top revenue department official and produced a fake letter from the chairman of the “department of science and research development” to make him install a siren and curtain in a hired vehicle but did not pay for the job, he said.
Bogus letters claiming to be from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ahmedabad DEO were used by the accused to cheat the complainants, the police official said.
Police have recovered from his possession fake identity cards and letters with headings like “bharat gaurav ratna shri samman council”, “chairman of department of science and research development”, “health and family welfare department”, and “road and building department”.
“The FIR is based on complaints by three victims. We appeal to the people to come forward and submit their complaints if they have been cheated by Shah in any way,” Makwana said.
