Manjunath, who worked on the MS Palya-Yeshwantpur bus route, first met the woman while issuing tickets. Over time, he developed feelings for her and convinced her to marry him, claiming he was single. Despite her family’s opposition, the woman, who had been previously divorced, eventually agreed to marry him. The two tied the knot in a temple.

However, just three months after the marriage, the woman learned the truth—Manjunath was already married and had two children. Shocked and heartbroken, the woman soon discovered she was pregnant. When she confronted him, he refused to take responsibility for her or the child.

The woman has now lodged a complaint with the Bengaluru Police Commissioner and the Women's Cell, seeking justice and support. She is demanding legal action against Manjunath for his deceitful behavior and abandonment.

The case has raised serious concerns about the safety and well-being of women and the potential for exploitation through deceptive relationships. Authorities have assured that they are investigating the matter and will take appropriate action.
