On the night of August 4, a minor student was gangraped inside a bus plying the Delhi–NCR roads. The bus (registration number UP83 ET 3789) had entered Delhi from Noida and continued to ply the roads of both cities for hours while the conductor and driver subjected the girl to brutal sexual assault.
According to reports, the Delhi Police arrested the accused within hours of the incident. However, the incident became public only on August 31 – 27 days after it occurred. The Delhi Police investigation seems to have triggered some unease within Noida police ranks, according to sources, with the latter alleging they were kept entirely in the dark and first learnt of the crime only from the media.
