In what has been seen as one of the most violent and disgraceful act any human could mete out to another, a 14-year-old Indian girl who was thrown off a fast moving bus after being gang-raped alongside her mother, by the driver and half a dozen other men in a bus they had been on, has died from her injuries. According to Emirates 247, India’s rape culture has hit a new low with this brutal incident in which the girl identified as Arshdeep Kaur and her mother Shinder, were sexually assaulted by more than a half dozen men and thrown off the bus.
The girl and her mother yelled for the bus driver to help them, but instead the driver took part in the brutal abuse of the mother and child.
According to reports, the mother, daughter and a young son boarded a nearly empty bus on their way to see relatives. Almost immediately, the men started attacking the mom and teen girl.
Despite their screams for the bus driver to stop the bus, he sped up and did nothing to stop the attack.
When the assault finally ended, the driver finally slowed the bus down, but only so the men could push the women off the bus, badly injuring them further. The teenage girl died from her injuries later on in the hospital.
The grieving mother lamented:
"No one helped. They first pushed my daughter off the bus, then me."
Police have arrested the bus driver, conductor and cleaner of the bus while the murder and rape investigation is on-going.
