A 25-year-old unemployed man, Harish Sinha, stabbed a bus conductor in Bengaluru on Tuesday. The incident occurred near Whitefields when conductor Yogesh asked Sinha to move away from the door, causing an argument. Frustrated over his unsuccessful job interview earlier that day, Sinha pulled out a knife and stabbed Yogesh.
Sinha, a native of Jharkhand, continued to threaten passengers with the knife before bus driver Siddalingaswamy locked him inside. Sinha then broke the bus windows with a hammer. Thanks to the driver’s swift actions, passengers were able to escape safely, and Yogesh received timely medical attention.
