Minor Girl from UP raped inside sleeper bus; Vehicle kept running for 47km- Picked from Greater Noida, thrown in Delhi
· India · Zee News, India Today
A minor girl from Uttar Pradesh was raped inside a sleeper bus after being picked up from Greater Noida and transported toward Delhi, with the vehicle reportedly kept running for 47 km before she was thrown out. The bus was in motion throughout the assault, extending the duration of the crime across a long stretch of highway. The accused driver or operator has not yet been identified in the available reporting, and the exact sequence of how the victim was lured or boarded remains unclear. Police have not publicly confirmed arrests, though the case is expected to trigger a probe under POCSO provisions given the victim's age. The incident has renewed scrutiny of passenger safety protocols on long-distance private sleeper buses operating between NCR cities.
Why it matters
The case points to serious gaps in safety and verification systems on private sleeper buses running between Greater Noida and Delhi, directly affecting the security of women and minors using overnight road transport in the National Capital Region. It is likely to pressure transport and police authorities to tighten surveillance, GPS tracking, and crew verification on inter-city private buses.
