A woman reported being sexually harassed by a fellow passenger on a BMTC bus near Manyata Tech Park in Bengaluru. The incident, which occurred on bus route No. 500D/40, led to the woman confronting the man and the driver preventing his escape. The accused allegedly tried to intimidate the woman by removing his shirt, prompting the driver to intervene and restrain him.
The video capturing the incident has circulated widely on social media, raising concerns about the safety of women, especially those working in and around Manyata Tech Park. The area is home to numerous IT, BT, and MNC companies, with many female employees relying on public transportation. Authorities are currently investigating the incident, working to identify those involved and establish the sequence of events.
Recent incidents in Bengaluru involving delivery agents have also highlighted safety issues for women. In one case, a woman documented how a delivery agent forced entry into her flat and exposed himself. Another incident in 2026 saw a delivery agent entering a flat, stripping, and exposing himself before being apprehended. These events have prompted companies like Flipkart to emphasize the importance of customer safety and take action against offenders.
