BMTC bus conductor stabbed by passenger after being warned for standing near door in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: A BMTC Volvo bus conductor was stabbed by a passenger near the Whitefield police station in Bengaluru after advising him to move away from the footboard for safety reasons.
The incident occurred when 45-year-old conductor Yogesh requested Harsh Sinha, a 25-year-old man from Jharkhand, to step back from the bus door while it was in motion. Enraged by the warning, Sinha, who had recently lost his job at a BPO in the city on September 20, assaulted and stabbed the conductor in the stomach.
Following the attack, passengers managed to restrain Sinha inside the bus. In a video that surfaced online, the accused can be seen breaking the glass and doors of the bus in an attempt to escape, causing panic among other commuters.
Passengers subsequently handed Sinha over to the Whitefield Police. The injured conductor was provided with immediate medical assistance, and the police have launched an investigation into the case. Further details are awaited.

Bengaluru: PUC student dies by suicide, hours after results were declared
Bengaluru (PTI): A second-year Pre-University Course student allegedly died by suicide at her residence here, hours after the exam results were announced, police said on Friday.
Tanushree (17), a science student, reportedly failed in three subjects, which is suspected to be the trigger behind her taking such an extreme step, they said.
However, no suicide note was recovered from the spot, except her hall ticket, which was found lying on the bed.
According to police, the incident came to light on Thursday around 3.30 pm, shortly after the results were announced.
She hung herself from the ceiling fan when no one was at home. Her mother had gone to work, a senior police officer said.
Citing preliminary inquiry, the officer said it is a clear-cut case of suicide. She was apparently distressed over failing in three subjects and had also called her friends to discuss the same.
When she did not respond to their calls and messages later, her friends decided to check on her, he said.
Based on her mother's complaint, a case of unnatural death has been filed, with Hebbal police investigation indicating it to be a case of suicide, police added.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
