Overview
- The 30-year-old factory worker, who police say was attacked late Monday near the Saraswati Vihar bus stand, reported being dragged into a sleeper bus and raped by the driver and conductor.
- Police arrested the two accused, identified as Umesh and Ramendra, on Tuesday and registered an FIR under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 64(1) for rape, 70(1) for gang rape, and 3(5) for common intention.
- Investigators seized the Bihar-registered sleeper bus, sent it for forensic checks, reviewed CCTV along the route, and said hospital doctors confirmed rape in the medical exam.
- The survivor says part of the assault happened while the bus was moving toward Nangloi, but police now say the rape occurred after the vehicle was parked near Nangloi and are mapping the route to verify this.
- The National Commission for Women demanded an action-taken report within seven days, a step that could press for answers on private bus oversight after officers noted curtains and black-tinted glass that hide activity and break court rules.
