 It is a shame for Delhi Government that a College Girl was not protected and raped in a private Bus.

In New Delhi Capital of India a city already notorious as India’s rape capital, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student was left battling for her life after being brutally beaten up and raped by at least five drunken men in a private bus which was audaciously driven around south Delhi localities on Sunday night even as the crime was being committed inside.    

The unconscious victim and her male friend, who too was badly beaten, were stripped and thrown off near the Mahipalpur flyover on NH-8 after being assaulted for almost an hour. They were picked up around 9.15pm, a time when many Delhiites are still out in the city.    

The woman is on ventilator support, doctors at Safdarjung Hospital said. On Monday, she underwent a four-hour surgery. Doctors said her intestines had ruptured and she had genital injuries. Her friend, a 27-year-old engineer who was preparing to take the civil services exam, however, helped the police in preparing sketches of the accused.   

Late on Monday, police arrested one of alleged rapists, Ram Singh, a resident of R K Puram Sector 3. Singh was the driver of the bus but on Sunday had let his brother, Mukesh, drive, police said. Singh has reportedly given the police the names of the six other men in the bus on Sunday night. Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has promised "strict action" against those responsible. 
Chief Minister must note that such kind of shameful activity is not being stopped immediately Young College girls traveling in Bus in Delhi will be a big question mark. The culprits must be given life sentence are higher.
