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.

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.
