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.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
