The High grounds police have cracked the mystery of the missing bus shelter, that was alleged to be stolen, and found it safe in the custody of the civic body.
A private firm had put up a bus shelter in collaboration with the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) near High Grounds Police Station. One Ravi Reddy, representing Signpost India agency, filed a complaint on September 28 that the bus-shelter that had been constructed on Cunningham road, opposite Cafe Coffee Day, worth ₹10 lakh had been stolen. Mr. Reddy said that he had approached the BBMP to seek details about the bus shelter before filing the complaint.
City Police Commissioner B. Dayananda clarified that the bus shelter was not stolen but evicted due to substandard work, considering the safety of passengers.
