The Nadakkavu police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the molestation of a teacher from Kozhikode by a fellow passenger while she was travelling on a Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus from Thiruvananthapuram to Kozhikode on Saturday night.
The woman had alleged that the bus conductor had tried to ignore the incident, paving the way for the escape of the suspect.
The Nadakkavu police said a case had also been registered against the KSRTC conductor for his alleged negligence in discharging his duties. The KSRTC higher-ups had reportedly given instructions to take stringent action against the conductor.
