The Odisha police on Monday arrested a man who, in his bid to flee after attacking his wife and her brother, boarded a bus wearing a woman's dress, but the stubble peeping through the dupatta exposed his identity to fellow passengers.
The 42-year-old man was sitting in the bus among women passengers wearing a blue kameez and a pink legging.
He also had a red bindi on his forehead and a dupatta with which he had covered his face.
However, the woman sitting next to him noticed his stubble through the dupatta and raised an alarm.
As he tried to flee, other passengers stopped him and informed the police.
He was arrested later, said Pradeep Pradhan, an officer of Kenrapara district police.
The passengers were not aware that the man, identified as Bikram Das, was fleeing after assaulting his wife and brother-in-law in Madhusudanpur village under Patkura police station. -- PTI
