According to the Assistant Director of Transport, North Goa, Mr A Bhosle, there was a complaint from a female student travelling by bus bearing number GA-01-T-5432 from Panaji to Mapusa on September 6, 2003.
The conductor of the bus reportedly demanded full fare from her and further used physical force in preventing the passenger from leaving the bus at Mapusa bus stand.
