Cops quiz witnesses to form ‘watertight’ case over Greater Noida-Delhi bus gangrape

Delhi Police have amassed biological evidence from the bus where a 16-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped on August 4. They have recorded statements from multiple witnesses, including a security guard and bus owners, and collected CCTV footage to build a "watertight" case. The police are requesting the Forensic Science Laboratory to expedite their report, aiming to submit it within 10 days.

The bus was driven by the accused and a conductor who allegedly lured the teenager, who had run away from her home, into boarding the vehicle in Greater Noida. The driver and the conductor are currently under investigation. The victim's statement, along with her family members and a cousin, will be crucial in forming the charge sheet.

The National Human Rights Commission has issued notices to the police commissioners of Delhi and Gautam Buddha Nagar demanding a detailed report on the matter within two weeks.
