A young couple caught on video having sex in an NMMT bus in Navi Mumbai was fined ₹2,000 each by the court after being traced. They admitted guilt and expressed remorse.
Mumbai, May 26: After a video of a young boy and girl having sex inside a Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) AC bus went viral, Kamothe police filed a criminal complaint against them in a startling instance of public indecency. The incident was made public on a Friday night after the video, which was purportedly taken by a passing motorist, went viral on social media and provoked intense criticism and outrage about civic duty and public behaviour.
When the act was captured on camera, the couple, who were identified as a medical lab assistant and a delivery agent, were sitting in the back row of an almost completely empty bus. According to reports, the bus conductor, who was seated in the front, was blind to what was going on behind him. In response to public outcry, the transport wing of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation filed a complaint at the Kamothe police station.
