However, instead of a peaceful trip, they were met with hostility from the bus conductor, who demanded they sit separately and threatened to call the police if they refused.A 22-year-old man alleged that the bus conductor harassed him and his friend.

Adding context, the person expressed, “Had a weird experience on a private sleeper bus from Bangalore and wanted to know if this is normal. Two of us (both adults) booked 3 lower sleeper berths in a 2×1 AC sleeper so we’d have extra space and one person could sleep comfortably. The conductor noticed and first asked us to sit separately. When we didn’t immediately move, he started saying things like ‘call your parents’ and ‘we’ll go to police’ which honestly felt unnecessary and a bit intimidating.”Also Read:
