Mangesh frequents areas with large groups of women, positioning himself behind them. He maneuvers through the crowd, creating the appearance of trying to board a bus while actually seeking to engage in inappropriate behavior.
Public Misconduct at Central Bus Stand
A disturbing incident of sexual misconduct has emerged at the central bus stand in Nagpur, mirroring a recent case of sexual assault in Pune’s Swargate. A young man, identified as Mangesh from Mankapur, was caught pretending to board a crowded bus while flirting with women. Security guard Shankar Soni recorded the incident on his mobile phone, leading to Mangesh’s detention and subsequent handover to the Ganeshpeth police.
Security Guard’s Vigilance Prevents Further Misconduct
The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon at the Ganeshpeth bus stand, where Mangesh has been known to loiter. He often positions himself among crowds of women, attempting to engage them inappropriately. After receiving reports from a hawker, security guard Shankar Soni monitored Mangesh’s behavior. Despite initial challenges in gathering evidence, Soni successfully filmed Mangesh during his inappropriate actions, prompting immediate action.
Lack of CCTV Raises Concerns for Public Safety
The absence of CCTV cameras at the central bus stand has raised concerns about public safety. Without surveillance, the police face difficulties in investigating incidents. The lack of security measures has surprised many, especially in light of recent events. Fortunately, the vigilance of security personnel like Shankar Soni helped avert a potentially serious situation, highlighting the need for improved safety measures at public transport hubs.
