A medico-legal examination (MLC) conducted on a 30-year-old woman, who was allegedly gangraped in a private bus in outer Delhi, has confirmed a 'possibility of sexual assault.' Hospital officials reported that the victim was stable but in significant psychological distress, leading to her discharge after examination and counseling. The examination, which lasted approximately three hours, included the collection of 29 samples using the Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence (SAFE) kit.
The incident occurred early Tuesday morning when the victim boarded the bus in Saraswati Vihar. The two suspects, Umesh Kumar and Ramendra Kumar, both bus drivers from Uttar Pradesh, were arrested the same day and are currently in judicial custody. A special three-member police team has been established to investigate the case, focusing on gathering technical and forensic evidence swiftly to file a charge sheet in court.
Key evidence includes CCTV footage showing the victim at the bus stand and a PCR call made by the victim after her escape, which was traced back to one of the suspects' mobile phones. The police have registered charges under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the accused, who are expected to be formally charged soon.
