Couple caught on cam having sex in bus, conductor faces action
Navi Mumbai:
Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation
(NMMC) has initiated departmental action against a conductor over a video that showed a young couple having sex in the back row of a moving civic-run AC bus on Sunday evening.
A senior official from Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport, the civic body's transport wing, said the bus conductor is under scrutiny for not being alert enough and failing to take action against the couple.
NMMC commissioner Kailas Shinde was not available for comment.
RTI activist Anarjit Chauhan said the conductor has been asked to explain in writing why he failed to stop the couple. He said the 22-second video was shot by a motorist who spotted the couple, assumed to be in their 20s, from a window of the bus. "The bus was fairly empty while it was going from Panvel to Kalyan. When it slowed down due to heavy traffic, someone took a video of the couple and sent it to some senior NMMC officials," he said.
Under Section 296 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, an obscene act in a public place can attract a jail term of three months and/or fine of Rs 1,000. At the time of going to press, the civic body hadn't approached police.
