India woke up to horrific news today.
A bus driver and a conductor allegedly threw a 14-day-old boy to the ground, killing the infant, and gang-raped the little boy’s mother.
This horrific crime was committed in Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s constituency, Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh.
The 28-year-old woman was returning home with her little infant after attending a family function on Monday night.
She was waiting inside the bus station when she was allegedly dragged inside the bus by Ishwari Lal, the driver, and Pannu, the conductor.
"Seeing her alone, the private bus driver and conductor pounced upon her and dragged her inside the bus. When she resisted, the two gagged her and raped her. In the ensuing scuffle, the woman said, the two snatched her 14-day-old infant from her lap and flung him to the ground. The baby sustained grievous injuries and died on the spot," superintendent of police (rural areas) Yamuna Prasad told TOI.
The culprits have been arrested and charged for gang rape and culpable homicide.
