Kolkata, May 12 (IBNS): The Kolkata Police on Friday late evening arrested a man for allegedly masturbating publicly in a moving bus in Kolkata, officials said.
According to reports, the man, who was sitting close to a woman, allegedly masturbated and made obscene gestures to her in the running bus (Route no. 30B/1 with registration no. WB-25 C-6638).
The woman captured the entire incident on mobile and posted the video on Kolkata Police's Facebook page.
She also claimed that neither her co-passengers nor the conductor of the bus helped her during the incident.
The video, however, went viral very soon and hours later, city police identified the accused and arrested him from north Kolkata.
"The accused was arrested from Shyampukur Police Station area in northern part of the city," a city police official told IBNS.
"He has been identified as Asit Rai who is a hawker by profession and a resident of Baidyabati in Kolkata's neighbouring Hooghly district of West Bengal," the official added.
However, police have begun a probe into the matter.
