Bengaluru: Inspired by a Telugu movie, Man kisses sleeping girl on cheek before getting off bus; hunt launched

Bengaluru: The police have launched a hunt for a man who allegedly kissed a girl on the cheek while she was sleeping on a bus before getting off in Bengaluru.

The incident took place on September 13, when the girl was returning to Bengaluru from Bellary in KSRTC bus.

The accused was apparently watching the Telugu movie ‘Geetha Govindam’  and was trying to reenact a scene in the movie. The girl claimed that the man had looked at her strangely before she went to sleep.

When the bus stopped near Peenya-Jalahalli, the youth kissed the girl on the cheek and went away. Before she could realize what happened, the youth had got down from the bus.

The girl has lodged a police complaint against the co-passenger and the Bagalagunte police are looking for the youth.

Police officials are verifying CCTV footages and getting the statements of the bus driver, conductor and other passengers to nab him.
