The victim has claimed that she approached the driver and bus conductor to take action against the accused but shockingly, the driver reportedly slowed down the bus so the accused could escape.

According to reports, a man sitting next to the woman on the bus started touching her inappropriately and passed lewd comments, following which the woman complaint to the conductor but it made no difference. The woman then called her husband, who informed the police about the untoward incident. To make matters worse, the bus did not stop at the signal and did so only after being chased. The bus driver, conductor and the molester later fled the spot.

Reactions have come in after this incident similar to that in Moga.

DCW Chairperson Barkha Shukla said that Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal should resign if his government is not able to protect women in the state. Social Activist Abha Singh said that the culprits are using their political patronage for which they do not have the fear of the police also.

CPI (M) leader Subhashini Ali called for strict laws to bring an end to the ‘jungle-raj’ in India where woman are not at all safe. BJP leader GVL Narasimha Rao also appealed state governments to implement the laws for women safety strictly.
