Incident Overview
A 16-year-old Class 11 student from Uttar Pradesh was allegedly gang-raped inside a sleeper bus in Delhi's Kashmere Gate area on the night of August 4, police said. The bus driver, identified as Kuldeep, and conductor, Sandeep, have been arrested in connection with the case.
Sequence of Events
According to police, the victim, a resident of Mainpuri district, had left home after a disagreement with her family and was travelling to visit her cousin in Noida. Due to heavy rain and darkness, she mistakenly got off at Pari Chowk in Greater Noida.
An empty sleeper bus passing through the area stopped after the girl signalled for help. The driver and conductor allegedly told her the bus was headed towards Noida Sector 63 and allowed her to board.
Police said the conductor began making obscene gestures towards the victim shortly after the bus started moving. The girl has alleged that both the driver and conductor then raped her and threatened to kill her when she resisted.
The bus travelled approximately 47 kilometres to Kashmere Gate, where the accused allegedly abandoned the teenager on Ring Road near the Kashmere Gate bus terminal late at night and fled.
Police Action
The victim approached Kashmere Gate police and reported the incident. Police arrested Kuldeep and Sandeep from a bus parking lot in Timarpur and seized the sleeper bus, which has been sent for forensic examination.
Investigators said the bus had earlier broken down and was taken to a workshop in Surajpur for repairs. After repairs, the driver and conductor were taking the empty bus to Timarpur when they encountered the girl at Pari Chowk.
Police noted that the sleeper bus had curtains around its berths, which prevented passersby from seeing inside during the alleged incident. An investigation is underway.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
