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.
