One of which was also a minor.In the moving bus, they brutally attacked the girl student, gang-raped her, beat her with iron rods and threw her on the roadside. The friend with whom the girl student had boarded the bus, the friend had already been dropped from the bus by these accused.After this incident, there were widespread demonstrations across the country including the capital Delhi. Seeing the savagery and brutality of the accused, the souls of the people were shaken.
