Five Arrested in Dehradun Gang-Rape Case

In Dehradun, five men, including three employees of the Uttarakhand Transport Corporation, were arrested for allegedly gang-raping a 16-year-old girl inside a bus at the Inter-State Bus Terminus. The girl, who had run away from home, was deceived by the bus driver and conductor, who offered her a ride from Delhi to Dehradun, where the assault occurred. In Bengaluru, a 21-year-old college student was allegedly sexually assaulted by a biker after her friends' vehicle was involved in a road rage incident, forcing her to seek a ride home from strangers. Both incidents have sparked police investigations, with suspects identified and apprehended, and the victims receiving medical and psychological assistance. These cases highlight ongoing concerns about women's safety in public spaces in India.
