Mangalore Today News Network

Bengaluru, Feb 25, 2016: A young Bengaluru woman was allegedly locked up in a BMTC bus on Wednesday evening near Yelahanka police station in Bengaluru by a bus conductor, driver and a few police inspectors. Diya(name changed) posted on Facebook explaining the incident and narrating her trauma.

Her post also had a video taken by her while being locked up in the bus and a photograph of the conductor who locked her up.

According to her post, she was locked up alone in the bus after her male friend allegedly got into an argument with the conductor for standing between the ladies and the gents section of the bus (402B, KA8022). She was returning from college.

According to the post, the angry driver stopped the bus near the police station and her friend fled immediately. Reacting to this, they locked her up for 45 minutes until her friend returned. A few police personnel were also witness to the incident.

The police and bus conductor repeatedly asked her for details about her friend, while she pleaded with them to not lock her up when there was no lady constable.

Her refusal to give any information angered them and they began to curse her. She was let out only after a few of her other friends came to the police station.

However her ordeal did not end there. The police officials allegedly denied to take her complaint. She said that the inspector even tried to discourage her saying, "maybe 5..6.. 10 years… you’ll have to go to court everyday and whenever they call you.. why do you want to go through all that?"

Diya said that she plans to lodge a FIR through a criminal lawyer.
