Shocking Incident: Bus driver, conductor bites ear & finger of passenger
A dispute over seating arrangement on a Roadways bus took an ugly turn when the driver and conductor bit the ear and finger of a passenger. The passenger, identified as Kuldeep Kumar of Sidhauli in Sitapur, lost a portion of his left hand’s little finger, part of ear, gold chain and Rs 19,600 in the incident on Thursday.
Kuldeep Kumar boarded a bus number (UT9813) to Sitapur from Lucknow and was asked to change seats by the conductor. When I asked the reason, he scornfully instructed me to get off the bus, leading to a confrontation. He stated, “The driver and their aides started beating me. One of them then bit my ears. They also bit my little finger on my left hand and looted my gold chain and money.”
The passenger somehow managed to flee the scene and save his life. SHO, Wazirganj, Dinesh Mishra, said the driver Sharan Mishra and conductor Mohammed Riyaz have been arrested. UPSRTC has also taken cognisance of the incident and issued a notice against the driver Sharan Mishra and conductor Mohammed Riyaz.
