Bengaluru: In a disturbing incident in the city, a BMTC bus conductor was attacked with a stone by a passenger, allegedly due to a minor altercation over a bus pass issue.
Police have identified the accused as Hemanth, a BCom graduate who resides in Nagarabhavi, and have registered a case at Mahadevapura police station.
The incident reportedly occurred on October 18, near Tin Factory, when bus conductor Sangappa Chittalgi had parked the bus for a meal break with driver Basavaraj. At this time, Hemanth, who works for a private company in Marathahalli, allegedly boarded the bus and struck Sangappa on the head with a stone before attempting to flee the scene.
The conductor and driver managed to catch and restrain him, ultimately handing him over to the police.
