    book the bus conductor & driver too, when the lady raises voice they would have come to her support or taken the bus to nearest police station. But for them only money & their bus timing is more important. Also passengers are also equally responsible, they are not bothered because this particular not belongs to their family & some people just supports by looking at their religion.

    Conductor & Driver may be unfit for the job or they may be supporting the accused in this case. Lady should be given bravery award for her courage to standup against the harassment.

    Readers, sexual abuse, especially of children n young adolescents are rampant in our society. Social workers, will enlighten you regarding this malaise which has invariably evolved into a pandemic, in our society... Many will be aghast, perhaps vehemently, protest against this true reality... Very often, this irrational sick behavior, spill's out in the public domain... Ladies and the very young are acutely conscious of this evil......

    Dear Police Department, first you should take action against the bus driver and conductor. It was their job to take the bus directly to the police station in the first instance it was reported.

    Thank you so much sir. 🙏🙏 Whole India was shaken once with that incident of Delhi Bus... which i don't want to recall here...(RIP) wherein alongwith passengers bus crew too were involved....We do not want such things to happen here and anywhere in our country. Definitely, this culprit is known to bus staff so closely... If you interrogate the bus sraff, there will be no difficulties in nabbing him. This culprit must have been engaged in filthy works on a regular basis... otherwise, why he will get down and catch the same bus after three stops???

    Actually the conducter should be held responsible. They should have stopped the bus and handover him to the police. with the help of other commuters. Shame on other passengers too who watched it silently. tomorrow thier wife or sister pass through such situation what would have they done. really shame on human right followers too. where are they. Direct call to police station on such occasions will be sufficient. Really felt very bad and sorry for the lady. That is because of drug addict only.

    Passengers don't get involved due to legal complications plus if that man is armed then situation would turn worse, its duty of bus crew to sort it out.

    Prakash G. Shenoy, I fully agree with your comments and there is no doubt that the conductor of the bus and partly the driver are responsible for negligent in their duties. Moreover, this sexual harassment took place inside a moving bus.

    He might run away from this city but his photo should be circulated as well as it should be posted on all the Buses as well as nook and corner of the city. Once a lesson is taught to one then nobody will have the guts to do it.

    Police number should be displayed in the Bus. Driver and conductor should be briefed about the security of the people and they have to inform police about such indecent activities. If you allow these to continue, rowdies will have upper hand and more people will get in to such heinous activities. Give protection to this lady to avoid any harm to her by this rowdy.

    A male police in every bus, in plain clothes , can solve such problems.
