After Air-India pee-gate, the KSRTC pee-gate incident has shed light on safety of passengers traveling. In the Karnataka’s state-owned bus, a drunk man reportedly urinated on a female passenger’s seat. According to reports no complaints have been filed in the matter, as the woman refused to register a case.
The incident occurred on February 21, and the accused was reportedly drunk at the time. The driver and conductor of the non-sleeper bus attempted to get the personal details of the 32-year-old passenger, but he apologized without revealing any information. The woman, who did not want to file a complaint, found the accused urinating on her seat after the bus stopped for dinner near Hubballi city.
According to reports, the conductor washed the seat with water, and the woman was asked to sit on a different berth. The KSRTC released a statement stating that the incident took place during a scheduled refreshment and nature call break. The crew of the bus gave a 15-20 minute break to inform the passengers, and there were unreserved passengers on berth number 3 and 29.
Passengers on the bus expressed shock at the incident, with one co-passenger stating, “He said he was a mechanical engineer and was traveling from Vijayapura to Mangaluru.”
Earlier in 2022, Shankar Mishra, who was traveling on an Air India flight, allegedly urinated on a 72-year-old co-passenger.
The Facts of the Matter
Unruly drunk passengers on flights and buses have become a growing concern in recent times. These individuals have been reported to create chaos and disturb the peace of other passengers. In some extreme cases, they have even urinated on their co-passengers or crew members, leaving them traumatized.
In one such incident, a drunk passenger aboard a KSRTC bus, allegedly exposed himself and urinated on a female passenger’s seat, without facing any arrests. The incident took place earlier on February 21 this year.
