A man in India got the shock of his life after he was
arrested for causing public nuisance by suffocating passengers with his smelly
socks.
According to the Daily Mail, the man travelling from
Himachal Pradesh to New Delhi was arrested after fellow passengers confronted
him over the pungent smell emanating from his socks.
In order to get comfortable for the long trip, the man is
said to have removed his shoes and socks in the bus infuriating passengers who
engaged him in a heated argument after he refused to throw them out.
When the uproar degenerated into a fist fight as passengers
tried to eject him out over the smell, the bus driver decided to pull over at a
police station in Una district.
According to Una police chief Sanjeev Gandhi, the man was
arrested after he threatened other passengers and for causing a disturbance at
the police station.
“He was arrested on charges of causing public nuisance and
later released on bail,” said Gandhi.
The man was forced to travel on another bus the next day.
