Three men were today arrested from south Delhi's Mahipalpur area after they allegedly molested a 17-year-old girl in a moving Rajasthan Roadways bus.
The girl, who is a resident of Jaipur, had boarded the bus around 12:30 AM. As soon as the bus left, three men, identified as Prakash, Vicky and Saawan, started misbehaving with her.
"One of them was standing and the other two were sitting. First they passed lewd remarks at the girl and when she resisted, they started touching her inappropriately following which she raised an alarm alerting fellow passengers one of whom made a PCR call," said a senior police officer.
As soon as the call about a girl being molested in a moving bus and that the bus driver was not stopping the vehicle, several police teams were scrambled to intercept the vehicle. The bus was intercepted within minutes near Mahipalpur flyover, he added.
The accused were arrested from the spot and the girl was sent for medical examination.
The accused were cloth merchants from Jaipur and a case under the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was registered against them at Vasant Kunj (south) police station, said the officer.
