The incident reportedly took place on a route leading from Rashid Minhas Road towards Nagan Chowrangi, where the motorcyclist allegedly committed indecent acts in full view of passengers. The footage, recorded by women aboard the Pink Bus, later went viral online.

Witnesses stated that despite being filmed, the suspect continued his behaviour before fleeing the scene.

He was reportedly wearing a face mask at the time in an attempt to conceal his identity, and the front number plate of his motorcycle was also missing, apparently to avoid detection by law enforcement authorities.

Police said further investigation is underway.
