A disturbing incident of harassment has been reported in Tripura's Bishramganj area, where a young air hostess was allegedly molested by a male passenger on a moving bus. The incident triggered a tense situation, leading to vandalism at the Bishramganj motor stand.
According to police sources, the 19-year-old air hostess, who had arrived in Agartala from Guwahati, was travelling to Sonamura subdivision when a male passenger sitting next to her began behaving obscenely around 7:30 pm.
The young woman immediately contacted her family members, who rushed to the Bishramganj motor stand to confront the accused.
