The 21-year-old girl had boarded the bus,plying on route number 374 (Nehru Place to Nand Nagri) from Krishna Nagar in East Delhi. She was on her way home to Shahdara,the police said.

At the Jaffarabad bus stand,four men boarded the bus. “The bus was relatively empty and the assailants sat near the victim,” a senior police officer said. “They started passing obscene remarks at her and then molested her. When she raised an alarm,one of the assailants produced a button-actuated knife and slashed her on the cheek thrice.”
