Man kisses sleeping girl on cheek before getting off bus; probe launched

Bengaluru: Karnataka police have launched a search for a young man who kissed his co-passenger before getting off the bus in Bengaluru. As per the police, the incident occurred on September 13 when the girl took a state-government-owned KSRTC luxury bus after the Vinayak Chaturthi festival to Bengaluru from Bellary.

The accused was watching the Telugu flick ‘Geetha Govindam’ near her seat, which features a scene in which the protagonist kisses the heroine as she is in deep sleep. According to the complaint, the youth had stared at the girl before she went to sleep.
