Teen raped inside bus: 11 challans, defunct CCTV camera among lapses flagged

An 11-point traffic violation list, including a defunct CCTV camera and heavy curtains obstructing passenger visibility, have come to light in the aftermath of a recent gang rape case on a commercial bus. The bus traveled 47 km from Greater Noida to Delhi's Kashmere Gate, with the driver and conductor arrested within four hours of the incident on August 4.

The bus, which had not been checked for compliance since its last entry into Delhi on July 25, was found to be operating despite several pending challans related to speed limits, non-compliance with permit conditions, and retroreflective tape violations. The investigation is also probing the bus's safety systems, including GPS and panic buttons, as well as whether previous traffic violations led to any enforcement action.
