New Delhi: In yet another shocking case of sexual crime in the Bangalore rural district, a 19-year-old girl was raped in a moving bus by the driver and cleaner near Sulibele Hoskote. The victim was a nursing student. Both the accused have been nabbed and identified. Soon after committing the crime, the accused Ravi and Manjunath dumped the victim near Nagagondanahalli.
The woman, 19, is now recovering at a hospital in Hoskote. The bus was privately owned and operated.
Police sources said the driver Ravi, 26, told the cleaner, identified as Manjunath, 23, to take the wheel while he raped the teenager. Both men have been arrested. The woman is being treated at a hospital in Hoskote.
“Wherever violence happens in the state we will not accept it. Let it be very clear. We will immediately according to the law,” said Karnataka’s new Home Minister G. Parameshwara.
In December 2012, the gang rape of a young student on a moving bus in Delhi shocked the world. The young woman – named “Nirbhaya” by the media – died a few weeks later of injuries caused by the attack; she was violated with iron rods by a group of six men.
