Kadaba, Sep 29,2016 : The ambulance carrying the body of KSRTC bus conductor Devadas who had jumped into the Kumaradhara river  after a heated argument with a lady passenger over the change which he reportedly owed to her,  was  stopped  in front of the Kadaba Police Station on September 28, Wednesday  and a protest staged by  the son of the deceased conductor,  colleagues and relatives  to express anguish against the  Kadaba Police personnel.

They alleged that  the high handed behaviour of the police who  had reportedly offended the conductor in front of the lady passenger in the station, might have  deeply hurt Devadas who chose to end his life.

Leaders and members of KSRTC Bus Employees Association demanded that  Kadaba police arrive at the spot and have a look at the face of Devadas and urged them not to repeat such mistakes. The Association leader also said  that it was an unpardonable offence  of the cops to reportedly undress the conductor on the pretext of checking.

 Puttur ASP Rishwanth and Puttur Rural Circle Inspector Anil Kulakarni who rushed to the spot,    consoled the  agitated family members and well wishers and assured to get the incident probed by higher officials if a complaint was lodged. They also assured action against anyone found guilty.
