Delhi Gang-Rape Horror: Private Bus Driver and Conductor Arrested in National Capital

The national capital has been shaken by a horrific incident of sexual violence reported on May 12, 2024. In a grim echo of past tragedies that have haunted the city’s streets, a married woman and mother of three was allegedly gang-raped inside a private sleeper bus by the vehicle's own driver and conductor.

The incident has once again turned the spotlight on the gaping holes in women’s safety and the lack of accountability within the private transport sector in Delhi. The victim narrated a harrowing ordeal to the authorities, alleging that the two accused—the driver and the conductor—forcibly pulled her into the sleeper coach of the bus.

Taking advantage of the secluded nature of the sleeper compartments and the absence of other passengers at the time, the duo allegedly locked the vehicle and committed the heinous crime. Following the victim's brave decision to come forward, the Delhi Police initiated immediate protocols.
