A 40-year-old KSRTC bus conductor attached to Puttur depot was arrested for allegedly molesting a female passenger and sexually harassing him.
The 21-year-old woman had boarded the KSRTC bus near Yeshwantpur on February 15 to reach Hassan. Upon travelling some time, she alleged that the accused sat next to her and started to misbehave with her.
