Police in India say they have arrested a man whose smelly socks caused a dispute between him and fellow passengers on a bus.<\/p>\n
They told the BBC they had lodged a complaint against Prakash Kumar, 27, for “causing a public nuisance”.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred en route to the capital, Delhi, after Mr Kumar removed his shoes and socks.<\/p>\n
The stench from the socks was so bad that passengers asked Mr Kumar to put them in his bag or throw them out.<\/p>\n
But he allegedly refused, sparking a heated argument.<\/p>\n
Passengers then forced the bus driver to pull over at a police station in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh where the complaint was lodged.<\/p>\n
The Hindustan Times quoted Mr Kumar as saying that his socks had not been stinking, and that the passengers had quarrelled with him for “no reason”.<\/p>\n
Police told the BBC that Mr Kumar had been granted bail.<\/p>\n
