A university student recorded a man repeatedly staring at a lone female passenger on a local bus on 2 July 2025, then confronted him after others remained silent. The recorder told the girl, “Apu, he’s been staring at you — here’s the proof,” and the girl replied she had noticed but felt too alone to speak up. The student then publicly asked the man why he was staring and told him to keep his eyes away, which made the girl feel stronger.
The incident highlights routine harassment on public transport and the wider problem of bystander inaction. The recorder urged passengers to act together immediately when someone is harassed, saying that collective response would reduce such crimes. Witnesses said no one on the bus punished the man at the time, prompting calls for greater solidarity and accountability among commuters.
