Punjab Woman Bus Molestation

A court in Punjab has acquitted a bus driver and his three accomplices of charges of molesting a 14-year-old Dalit girl and pushing her off a moving bus leading to her death in Moga in 2015, citing "lack of evidence" after the victim's mother turned hostile.

24 hours after a scooterist died in a road accident on the Chandigarh-Manali national highway in Punjab, the state police has bowed to public pressure.

A speeding private luxury bus, said to belong to a company owned by the ruling Badal family, allegedly ran over a scooterist on the Chandigarh-Manali national highway in Ropar on Thursday. The area witnessed angry protests over the death, with locals sitting on the accident site with body.

In the middle of anger and protests in Punjab over the death of a 14-year-old who was molested and then thrown from a moving bus, another woman was allegedly harassed on a private bus on Sunday.

A day before Moga shuts down in protest against the death of a teenager, who was molested and then shoved off a running bus, the family has agreed to cremate the body, following intervention by Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, sources said.

The girl died. She must have fallen very hard when her tormentors threw her off the bus. She was only 13 years old, a student of Class 9.

The Punjab Police have said that a young woman who alleged that she was gang-raped by 11 men, including the husband of a friend, now says she had consensual sex.

A 14-year-old girl and her mother begged for help as a group of men tried to molest them on a moving bus in Moga, 170 km from Chandigarh. Finally, they were pushed off, thrown from the bus onto the road, where the teen died. Her mother is in hospital with severe injuries.
