Dear Sir,

I want to bring in your kind attention towards the news published in NDTV on 17 December, 2012 regarding Student who was gang-raped, pushed from bus is in critical condition

New Delhi: A 23-year-old medical student in Delhi is struggling for her life after she was first gang-raped and then beaten with an iron rod for nearly 45 minutes in a bus last night. She has blunt injuries on her face and abdomen, her intestine is badly damaged and multiple surgeries have been performed on her since last night. She is currently on a ventilator.

A male friend who was with her and tried to protect her was also attacked with the same rod on his head. He has been released from hospital and has been helping the police with its investigation.

The victim and he were thrown out of a moving bus in Mahipalpur in south Delhi last night at about 10:30 pm. They were discovered lying semi-naked near a flyover from where they were moved to hospital.

News agency IANS reports that four people have been detained for the crime; two buses have been impounded.

The victim and her friend, who works with a software firm, watched a movie at Delhi's Select City Walk mall in Saket last night; they then boarded a "whiteline" bus for Dwarka - these are buses managed by
private operators that supplement Delhi's public transport.
Sources say there were five or six people on the bus when the couple boarded.

About 10 minutes later, a few people on the bus began harassing the woman, said a relative of the boy who was accompanying her. "They took out a rod and beat him badly and then dragged her to the bus cabin
where they raped her," the relative shared.

The police have questioned about 20 people so far; some people have also been detained. However, no arrests have been made so far. The police is monitoring CCTV footage collected from the area where they
boarded the bus and from where they were thrown off the bus. Sketches of suspects are being prepared based on the description shared by the victim's friend

Therefore it is a kind request please take appropriate action at earliest.

Thanking You

Sincerely Yours
