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.
