A head constable in Bengaluru faces action after a complaint alleging misconduct on a BMTC bus. According to reports, a woman’s allegation (and a separate college student account cited by one outlet) links the accused officer to inappropriate conduct during an incident on the bus. Police initiate a sexual-harassment probe based on the allegation, and the officer is arrested in connection with the case.
The accused head constable disputes the allegations and, through his side, files a counter-complaint. In the counter-claim, he asserts that he was assaulted by the complainant and associated people after the allegation was raised. One report adds that the officer cites emotional stress related to domestic issues.
Authorities are reviewing both the misconduct complaint and the counter-complaint. The status of arrests and any subsequent legal proceedings is described as under scrutiny, with further investigation expected to determine the facts of the incident and the competing claims.
