Bengaluru: The driver of a private bus was beaten up by the relatives of a minor girl after he allegedly molested her.
The police said the girl, travelling from Hyderabad to Bengaluru, had handed her phone to the driver for charging. When she later asked for it back, he allegedly demanded a kiss in return and misbehaved with her. She informed her family over the phone.
As the bus neared Bengaluru on Thursday morning, her relatives intercepted it near Chalukya Circle, dragged the driver out, stripped him half-naked and thrashed him in public. Local residents gathered at the spot before the police arrived and took him to the station in an auto.
The Halasuru Gate police have arrested the suspect based on a complaint filed by the girl’s family.
