Digital Desk: A bus shelter worth Rs 10 lakh along with its steel structure was stolen a week after it was installed in Bengaluru.
The Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) was in charge of maintaining the bus shelter, which was situated on Cunningham Road.
On September 30, a month after the bus shelter vanished, N Ravi Reddy, an associate vice-president of the company responsible for the construction of BMTC bus shelters in Bengaluru, filed a complaint to the police. The police then registered a theft case.
Earlier in March, a three-decade-old bus stop at the HRBR Layout disappeared overnight. According to a media report citing locals, the Lions Club donated the bus stop at Kalyan Nagar in 1990. It had been cleared out overnight to make way for a commercial establishment.
Officials from the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) claimed that Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) was responsible for removing the bus shelter.
