Karnataka: A drunk man in Bengaluru urinated on a woman co-passenger's seat in a government bus. The incidnet happened on Tuesday.
Following the incident, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is mulling to lodge a complaint against the man.
The 32-year-old person, a mechanical engineer by profession, in an inebriated state had urinated on a woman co-passenger's seat on February 21 while he was traveling from Vijayapura to Mangaluru.
"The driver and conductor tried to get the information about the passenger who had urinated in the bus. But the accused apologised and did not disclose his personal details. As the woman passenger refused to register a complaint, the bus continued with the scheduled journey," KSRTC said.
Reports say the man urinated on the seat of a 20-year-old woman when the bus had stopped for refreshment break in Kiresur near Hubbali city.
According to the woman, she found the man urinating on her seat when she returned to the bus after the refreshment break.
"Upon receiving the complaint, the statements of Mangaluru-Depot 2, Bus No KA 19 F 3554 driver Santhosh Mathapati and conductor Umesh Kardi, who were on duty in Vijayapura- Mangaluru Bus, have been taken into account. From their statements, it is found that, the bus plying en-route had unreserved passengers in the berth number 3 and berth number 29," KSRTC said.
"The crew of the bus gave a scheduled refreshment and nature call break at Kiresuru Hotel at 10.30 p.m. and informed the passengers about a 15-20 minute break," it said.
During the break time, the intoxicated man who was seated at birth no. 29 didn't get out of the bus and urinated on seat number 3 when the bus was empty.
Following this, the driver and conductor of the bus confronted the passenger and left him near the hotel.
"Berth number 3 was washed with water and wiped with a cloth by the driver and conductor and the female passenger was requested to travel in berth number 9," the statement said.
