In an Instagram story, she expressed her disbelief that such incidents continue to occur despite ongoing conversations about women's safety. The incident has sparked outrage and questions regarding the effectiveness of law enforcement and jurisdictional issues. According to Delhi Police, the driver and conductor of the bus have been arrested for allegedly luring the teenager onto their vehicle and subsequently sexually assaulting her. The Uttar Pradesh Police have also joined the investigation, alleging that Delhi Police did not notify them of the incident, as it occurred within the Gautam Buddh Nagar Commissionerate area. The alleged victim, a Class 11 student from Mainpuri, had reportedly left her home on August 3 without informing her parents. She was travelling to her cousin's home in Sector 63, Noida, when she claimed to have mistakenly disembarked at Pari Chowk during a rainstorm. The conductor allegedly told her the bus was heading towards Sector 63, and she boarded without realizing the true destination. The conductor and driver are accused of sexually assaulting the teenager while the bus was in motion, with no other passengers present.",
