A 16-year-old student in Uttar Pradesh was reportedly gang-raped on a sleeper bus traveling through the national capital region. The incident occurred as the bus covered approximately 47 kilometers before the suspects abandoned her near a major transit terminal, according to police reports. Authorities are investigating the case, which has raised significant concerns about safety and security in public transport.
Delhi police arrested the bus driver and conductor for gang-rape of a minor student on a moving bus.
A terrified student contacted the Kashmere Gate police and reported the entire incident. The police have arrested the bus driver, Kuldeep, and the conductor, Sandeep, in connection with the case. Just then, an empty sleeper bus passed by. The victim sought assistance after getting stranded in heavy rain and signalled the bus to stop, and it halted. It is alleged that shortly after the bus started moving, the conductor began making obscene advances toward the victim. Police have arrested both accused individuals from a bus parking lot in Timarpur and seized the sleeper bus used in the crime, which is undergoing forensic examination.
Due to heavy rain and darkness, the student mistakenly got off at Pari Chowk. The incident reportedly occurred on the night of August 4 in a sleeper bus in the Kashmere Gate area. The victim is a Class 11 student hailing from the Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh, according to police sources. Detailing the sequence of events on August 4, Delhi police officials said that the student had left home without informing her family after a disagreement and was on her way to visit her cousin in Noida. The driver and conductor let her board, claiming the bus was going to Noida Sector-63.
