The police said that the victim had made the allegations in her Facebook post and had given details about the incident. According to her, on January 10, she boarded the BMTC bus at Ragigudda bus stop in JP Nagar 2nd Phase to reach Uttarahalli. On the way she asked for the change of Rs 6 and the conductor Chandrakanth allegedly asked her to write a love letter to them. As she tried to raise an alarm, four men including the driver and conductor started touching her body and misbehaved with her.
“We are inquiring with the driver and the conductor, and recording their statement, while efforts are on to track down the victim to get her statement,’’ a senior police officer said.
