A woman was allegedly gang-raped by the driver and conductor of a sleeper bus inside the vehicle in Delhi, according to police sources who confirmed the incident on Thursday, May 14, 2026.

A police source confirmed that the accused have been taken into custody and that further investigation is underway, noting that the bus involved in the incident has been seized by authorities.

According to police sources, the woman was returning home after completing her shift at a factory. As she reached the area near the B-Block bus stand in Saraswati Vihar, she encountered one of the accused standing near the bus door. The sources state that she asked him for the time, but he allegedly dragged her inside the bus. Once inside, she was subjected to sexual violence by multiple individuals in the moving vehicle.

The political fallout from the incident was immediate. The Opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) swiftly condemned the assault, likening it to the 2012 Nirbhaya case, which had previously shocked the nation and led to significant changes in legal frameworks regarding sexual violence. Delhi AAP chief Saurabh Bharadwaj took to social media platform X to express his outrage.

In a post titled "Big Shame," Bharadwaj described the incident as a repetition of past horrors. He stated, "Big Shame - Nirbhaya repeated. 30 yr old woman was picked up in the bus at night on pretext of asking time. Then she was raped by multiple people in the moving bus for around 2 hours. Bus kept moving in Rani Bagh area of Delhi covering 7 km." His comments highlight the brutal nature of the assault, emphasizing that the bus remained in motion for a considerable duration while the crime occurred.
