The Kaanai police on Friday arrested a TNSTC town bus conductor for allegedly sexually harassing a female passenger. The arrested conductor, Silambarasan, and the driver of the bus Anbu Selvan, were suspended from service by Collector D. Mohan.
According to police, the 21-year-old woman complainant boarded the TNSTC town bus from Villupuram to Kothamangalam on Thursday night. When the bus neared Perumbakkam, Silambarasan started harassing the woman after other passengers had alighted at previous bus stops.
