Bengaluru, Sep 11
A bus driver was stripped and thrashed for "sexually harassing" a minor girl during her journey from the Basaveshwaranagar police station limits in Bengaluru on Thursday, police said.
As soon as the vehicle arrived in Basaveshwaranagar, the victim's mother and brother dragged Arif off the bus and confronted him about the sexual harassment. Arif confessed to the crime, joined his hands in apology, and pleaded to be spared.
The victim's mother told the media, "My minor daughter had gone to Hyderabad to stay with her elder sister. On Wednesday night, my elder daughter called me to say that her sister had boarded the bus to Bengaluru. The accused driver did unspeakable things to my daughter on the bus. I can't describe the harassment of our girl in words."
The police have taken up further investigation, and more details about the incident are yet to emerge.
