Good day, Today a news has come stating that a girl in rajasthan has been allegedly raped in a bus. Stay with this article to find out more about this news. Police reported that a girl traveling from Kanpur to Jaipur was allegedly assaulted by two drivers during the nights of December 9 and 10. At approximately 7:30 pm on the nights of December 9 and 10, a girl en route from Kanpur to her uncle’s home in Jaipur faced a distressing situation. Having boarded a bus and unable to secure a seat, she was accommodated in the cabin. Subsequently, while she was alone in the cabin after other passengers had disembarked, the drivers allegedly raped her in turns,” informed Bassi Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Phoolchand Meena when addressing the incident with reporters. Mr. Meena further mentioned that upon discovering the girl in a distressed state, fellow passengers on the bus opened the cabin door and confronted and physically assaulted the drivers.
Upon the girl disclosing the incident to fellow passengers, she was escorted to the police station, and her uncle was summoned to file the complaint, as stated by the police. The ACP explained, “Upon the girl’s revelation to the passengers, she was brought to the police station, and her uncle was summoned to file the complaint report.” Police have apprehended one of the drivers, Mohammed Arif, while efforts are underway to locate and apprehend the other driver, Lalit, who is currently evading arrest, as per police reports. The occurrence shares a striking similarity with the 2012 Delhi incident that occurred in the same month and reverberated across the nation. In that tragic event, a young woman faced a brutal assault and rape on a moving bus in Delhi, eventually succumbing to her injuries a few months later.
