A 30-year-old woman from Pitampura, Delhi, recounted her traumatic experience of being gangraped on a private bus after simply asking a man inside for the time. The incident occurred around midnight at the Saraswati Vihar bus stop. After visiting her brother's house in Sultanpuri, she took an e-rickshaw to the bus stop, where she approached the bus. Shortly after boarding, she was assaulted by two men, Umesh Kumar and Ramendra Kumar, who have since been arrested. The woman described her desperate pleas to be let go, emphasizing her concern for her three young daughters waiting at home. Following the assault, she called the police, who found her bleeding and took her to a hospital. Despite medical advice to stay for treatment, she declined, citing her husband's illness and her children's needs. The case has reignited discussions about the effectiveness of transport safety measures established after the infamous 2012 Delhi gangrape case, as the bus lacked required safety features such as tracking devices and emergency buttons.
