Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (MS)

Puttur, Nov 20: A man who was sexually harassing a girl student in a running bus was handed over to the police with the help of co-passengers and conductor of the bus. This incident occurred at Uppinangady on Saturday November 19.

The KSRTC bus was plying from Bengaluru to Mangaluru. A girl student boarded the bus at Nelyadi. It is gathered that Ashraf (45), a resident of Perne, was sexually harassing her. It is said that the accused asked the girl student to touch his private part.

A shocked girl student brought the matter to the notice of the conductor, who alerted the passengers and caught Ashraf and handed him over to police.

Ashraf is married and has three children. He is a truck driver by profession. Though he tried to escape from the grip of the passengers, the driver and conductor of the bus drove the bus straight to Uppinangady police station and handed him over to the police.

Police informed that the girl student denied filing a complaint as it will hamper her education and future prospects. The police have registered a suo moto case for indecent behaviour at a public place on the accused.

    "No Mercy at all .. cut his private part." What is that a street dog or a bull? Which part of the World such a punishment is meted for sexual harassment? Anything that rolls in your tongue. Take care of your fly members & relatives not to venture such encounters.

    "We asked the jailer and learnt that their behaviour was good in the prison...also (some of the convicts) are Brahmins. They have good 'sanskaar' (values)," BJP MLA from Godhra C.K. Raulji said when 11 men who were convicted for the gangrape of a pregnant woman and murder of 14 members of her family, including her three-year-old daughter were released from jail. .................This is the sanskar of so called peaceful sanskari people. And these same sanskari people act as torch bearers for the cause of woman protection as we see here. And these same sanskari people even facilitated the gang rapists and killers with garlandeds

    @ Rajesh, Mangalore "Good that you realised this after many years" What have I got to do with someone's filthy character? Do you any time accept responsibility for your misdeeds? Have some sense when you comment.

    when a crime is repeated by same set of people it is normal to deduce the rationale behind it. we see patterns and analyse it. dont we?. I thought you have seen through it. alas i have got it wrong.

    I determined the accused persons community just by going through the headlines. Noticed few such characters in Mangalore too during past days, who rush to catch the overcrowded buses just to satisfy their ill purpose.

    Some commentators repeatedly have the habit to bring the community into picture. But the shocking silence is witnessed when their Community Leaders are involved in the far shameless activities than these. This is sufficient to decide about the class of these kind of people.
