A shocking incident in Assam’s Sribhumi area has triggered public outrage and tense scenes, as a young woman who resisted a rape attempt was allegedly thrown out of a moving bus by her attackers, reported NDTV.
The incident, which took place on Monday evening, has drawn comparisons to the 2012 Nirbhaya case in Delhi, where a young woman was gang raped and thrown from a bus, later succumbing to her injuries.
According to police, the young woman had boarded a bus from Badarpur Circle Office to Sribhumi after finishing work. When two passengers disembarked at Bhanga, a group of men who remained onboard allegedly locked the vehicle’s doors and attempted to sexually assault her.
Realising the danger, the woman sent her live location to her family via WhatsApp. Sensing this, the attackers panicked and threw her out of the moving bus before fleeing.
She sustained multiple injuries and is currently undergoing treatment at Karimganj Civil Hospital. Her condition is reported to be stable.
Police have confirmed the arrest of two suspects and have seized the vehicle involved. A total of 10 men are reportedly involved in the crime.
