Another Nirbhaya case in Chandigarh – 13-year-old girl jumps off moving bus to avoid molestation and dies

#Nirbhaya #Chandigarh #molesters The death of a 13-year-old girl in Chandigarh when she jumped out of a mobbing bus to escape molestation by passengers in the bus reveals how unsafe it is for women and young girls to travel in a public transport like a bus.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 30 April 2015.

Those with evil intentions thumb their noses at the Law and the results prove that crime against women in India is not an easy crime to control. The Nirbhaya case that happened in New Delhi had left the world numb and large promises had been made by politicians that strict action would be taken to prevent recurrence of such cases. But, for all practical purposes, the promises were hollow, the tears shed were crocodile tears.
It seems this 13-year-old girl was traveling with her mother and younger brother in an AC bus operated by Orbit Bus Service. The service is believed to be owned by the family of Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal. It was night time and, when the bus was on the Moga-Bhatinda highway, near Moga city, some youths in the bus began to harass the girl and passed lewd comments.
Her mother complained to the driver and conductor of the bus but they laughed it off and, in fact the bus conductor joined the youth in the act.
The mother them requested the driver to stop the bus but he ignored her plea and increase speed at which the girl and her mother panicked. Fearing a fate like that of Nirbhaya, jumped out of the bus and the girl died while the mother suffered severe injuries.
Police have arrested the driver and conductor of the bus.
