Moga, Punjab: Amid massive political protests in Punjab over the death of a 14-year-old who was molested and then thrown off a moving bus on Wednesday, her family has refused to cremate her.
They have also turned down the state government's offer of Rs 20 lakh compensation and a job. The father of the teen has demanded a case against Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal.
The teenager and her mother were attacked on a bus run by Orbit Aviation, a company owned by Sukhbir Singh Badal, who is the son of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
The teen and her mother were abused and groped by a group of men, including the conductor, before being thrown from the bus. The girl died instantly.
Opposition parties allege that it was because of the Badal connection that the police took 15 hours to arrest four men.
They have alleged that buses run by Orbit often flout rules and that there is no fear of reprisal because of the connection to the ruling family.
Opposition parties have also demanded the resignation of Sukhbir Badal's wife Harsimrat Kaur, who is a minister at the Centre.
Senior police officer AS Chahal claimed that the father had only been made to sign his daughter's post-mortem report.
