Liquor bottles hurled at Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation bus, 1 hurt

BENGALURU: A passenger was injured after liquor bottles were hurled by two miscreants at a KSRTC flybus near Silk market at Ramanagara early on Monday.

Officials said there were 17 passengers in the bus coming from Kempegowda International Airport to Mysuru.

A Devi Charan, a passenger, tweeted: “Two beer bottles came crashing into the flybus when it was moving near Ramanagara at 1.30am-2am. One passenger sitting at the window seat sustained minor injuries.”

Charan said they were later shifted to another KSRTC bus. “But there was no first-aid kit in the bus even to attend to the minor cuts. Shards of the glass fell on nearby seats where passengers were sleeping, including a 15-month-old baby," he said.

Charan said the bus left from KIA at 11.54pm on Sunday and was supposed to reach Mysuru at 3.53am but they finally arrived by around 5am.

A KSRTC official said: “Two drunken men were involved in the incident. They were on a bike and threw the bottle towards the bus by mistake. We informed police about them.”

BS Mohan Kumar, deputy superintendent of police (Ramanagara sub-division), said: “We have registered a case based on a complaint filed by KSRTC officials on Monday evening. The suspects will be nabbed soon.”
