Bengaluru, Aug 28: A KSRTC bus conductor on Monday returned a bag containing Rs 2.5 lakh worth of gold ornaments that a passenger accidentally left in the vehicle.

KSRTC officials said a group of four passengers boarded the Bengaluru-bound bus (KA10F0381) at Kollegal on Sunday. They got down at Channapatna without taking the bag containing two necklaces, two earrings and one stud, all worth Rs 2.5 lakh.

When the bus reached Bengaluru on Monday, conductor M Jayadeva found the unaccompanied luggage with the valuables.

“I traced the owner, Unnisa Syed, based on information I found in the bag, by which time she had informed Ramanagara police,” Jayadeva said.

The passengers were called to Mysuru Road Satellite Bus Station and the jewellery was handed over to them after verifying their identities. KSRTC has given an appreciation letter to the conductor for his honesty. The passenger was also happy to get her belongings back.

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru CEN police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly posting provocative and misleading content on an Instagram page named “mr_a_titude”, targeting the Bajpe police.

Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H identified the arrested as Abhishek M, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru.

A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station under Sections 353(1)(c), 353(2), 56, and 57 read with Section 189 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in connection with the post.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.

The Commissioner said the accused was traced and arrested using technical evidence.
