Police Arrest Two in Connection with Molestation Incident on Running Bus

Sribhumi police have arrested two individuals in connection with an alleged molestation incident inside a moving bus. The incident, which took place on Tuesday evening, led to a swift investigation, resulting in the detention of multiple buses and questioning of drivers and handymen.

Following the incident, police reviewed CCTV footage from Badarpur Police Station, identifying five suspected buses operating at the time. However, due to unclear registration numbers in the footage, officers relied on physical descriptions to locate the vehicles. Early Wednesday morning, all five buses were detained from different locations, and their drivers and handymen were brought in for questioning.

During the investigation, authorities identified the bus bearing registration number AS-24C-6111 as the vehicle involved in the incident. The driver, Jashim Uddin Laskar from Panchgram, and an occupant, Abu Salam from Silchar, were arrested. The police also seized the bus as part of the ongoing probe.

A case has been registered under Badarpur Police Station Case No.: 64/2025, and investigations continue to explore all possible aspects of the incident. Officials are determined to uncover further details and ensure justice is served.

The incident has sparked outrage across Barak Valley, with locals demanding appropriate action. Earlier, Bajrang Dal activists staged a protest, urging authorities to take strict action against the accused. The case remains under active investigation.
