Sullia, Jan 9: The Kadaba police recently visited the residence of an elderly individual who was reportedly forced to disembark from a KSRTC bus by the conductor due to a lack of exact change for his ticket fare.
Sub-inspector Akshaya Davagi, along with personnel Bhavit Rai and Vinod, gathered first-hand information from Babu Gowda, the affected individual.
The accusation is that the conductor ejected Babu Gowda midway at Goliadka for tendering an Rs 200 currency note as payment for his ticket fare. Babu Gowda had boarded the bus at Kallugudde and was en route to Kanchana. This incident sparked widespread criticism on social media.
Babu Gowda had already reported the matter to the gram panchayat. It is now anticipated that the gram panchayat will file a complaint against the conductor with KSRTC authorities. Additionally, the police department plans to submit the details of the incident to the KSRTC department.
