This is the report in THE HINDU on 18th December, 2012 about a girl raped in a moving bus by 6 people. One of them was the bus driver. This is the hot topic for the last 5days since today(22/12/2012).
NEW DELHI: Brutally gang-raped by four men in a moving bus in South Delhi on Sunday night, a 23-year-old woman is now battling for life in Safdarjung Hospital here. The woman’s male friend was also assaulted, stripped and then thrown off the bus along with her near the Mahipalpur flyover in south-west Delhi.
While the police have rounded up six persons on suspicion of their involvement, they have impounded a bus from Noida suspecting it to be the one in which the crime was committed. The bus driver was also arrested on Monday.
The girl and her friend took an auto rickshaw to a bus stop in Munirka on Outer Ring Road after visiting a mall in Saket. There they boarded a “contract carriage” luxury bus going toward Palam at around 9.30 p.m.
The bus, which the police said had tinted glass, had only four other passengers besides the couple. The police believe that the other passengers were acquainted with the bus driver and the cleaner.
“When some of the passengers passed nasty remarks at the girl, an argument ensued between them and her friend, who was beaten up with iron rods by the four men,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South Delhi) Chhaya Sharma.
The group then pounced on the girl, dragged her into the driver’s cabin where they forced themselves on her. They also robbed the two victims of their belongings before throwing them off the bus on National Highway 8 near the Mahipalpur flyover around 10.15 p.m., almost 6 km from where the couple had boarded the bus.
Shocked and numbed, the victims were barely able to raise an alarm when they were spotted by a security guard deployed at a nearby construction site, who immediately called up the police suspecting that something was amiss as the two had sustained injuries and were bleeding.
The police reached the spot and rushed the injured victims to Safdarjung Hospital where the girl is currently on ventilator support, the police said. According to sources in the hospital, the girl, who mainly received injuries on her face and stomach, was bleeding profusely when brought in for treatment.
This has caused a massive outbreak of protest from the whole nation. This news spread like wild fire and still protests are going on. It has also gained a political importance. All the parties condemned this (at least it was in the news that way). The opposition demanded a proper probe into the case.
"Reflecting the nationwide outrage, anguish and grief over the horrific rape and battery of a young physiotherapy student in a moving bus in South Delhi, angry members in both Houses of Parliament demanded the death penalty for the perpetrators." The Hindu reported
POLICE ACTION: Four people were arrested on 18th, Dec,2012. They were Ram Singh, the driver of the bus; his brother Mukesh; a fruit seller named Pawan; and Vijay, a helper at a local gymnasium. The driver’s helpers, Akshay Thakur and Raju, were absconding.
Raju was arrested on the 21st Dec. 2012 by Delhi police but claims to be a minor. Police are yet to verify his claim. If found minor his details will be held as per the law and is being treated as a juvenile criminal.
Akshay Thakur was arrested by Bihar Police on the same day and are interrogating him.
VICTIM: the victim is a Physiotherapy student in Jawaharlal Nehru University. "She is a Fighter", a doctor said.
“The culprits should be punished. I want them hanged,” wrote the 23-year-old girl.
She is still not able to speak. She has been communicating through gestures.
COMMENT: The attitude of people should change. One of the police said" The dress of the girl provoked the men". Shame on this. The people should be educated and it is a regret that even the most educated people talk this way. Our mind set should change. A girl who wears a mini doesn't mean that she is ready to have sex. It means that she is a modern girl who is confident about herself and is willing to face the world.
Final Result:
Today,i.e. 29th December,2012, the girl died in Singapore, where she was sent to medical assistance. The nation mourns her death. But this is not death. Its a cold blooded murder committed by the entire nation, either knowingly or unknowingly.
MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE..
