The True Untold Story:


The title of the article is hideous. Not more so than the crime those animals committed. But as more details emerge about what transpired on the night of horror for the 23-year old medical student and her male friend, it becomes more and more clear that the men were remorseless and confident about not getting caught.Poor, drunk and armed with an arrogance that they could get away with it, we can now make an effort to understand, why did they rape her.

The men have been identified as Ram Singh-the bus driver, Mukesh Singh-Ram's brother and a driver/helper,Vinay Sharma-an assistant gym instructor, Pawan Gupta- a fruit seller, Akshay Thakur-a driver/helper. The evening started out normally for the gang."Being Sunday, Ram and his helper had cooked a chicken dish and had a small party.They decided to go for a joyride and also make some quick money by giving lift to people so that they could buy some more liquor. Akshay then took out the vehicle and Vinay, Raju, another cleaner, and Pawan joined them for the ride. Finally, they left with Mukesh driving the bus. It was around 8.15 pm. They are all friends and live in the neighbourhood," police commissioner Neeraj Kumar told TOI.

Clearly high on alcohol and armed with the fearlessness that only Delhi's cops can induce, the gang embarked on a joyride on the bus, intending to make some extra money on the way. Prior to picking up the victim and her friend, they had picked up a man from R K Puram and robbed him before throwing him out of the bus. Their first victim- Ramadhir Singh-a carpenter was picked up and ushered in under the pretext of dropping him off at his destination Nehru Place for Rs 10.Then,they forcibly took away Rs 7,500 and mobile phone from him and then threw him out of the bus near IIT Delhi around 8.45 pm.

And here is the sad part. Had Ramadhir Singh reported the crime or called for help, there is a high probability that the gang rape that happenned just an hour later could have been prevented.

The accused then spotted the couple in Munirka and took them in. Once inside, the six men started passing lewd comments at her."The gang asked the couple why were they travelling so late. When the man told them not to bother and mind their own business, the men picked up a fight and the boy was hit on the head. The girl protested and fought with them to save her friend but was also hit. The girl even bit Ram Singh on his hand.When she resisted and bit his hand, Ram Singh got very angry. Alcohol and the victims' defiance, made him go berserk. He picked up a rod and hit the two everywhere. His accomplices followed suit," a source said.

Her male friend was beaten up with iron rods and gagged near the driver's seat. Outraged by her defiance and in a bid to teach her a lesson, they then dragged the girl to a seat in the rear where they took turns to rape her.All this while, the bus roamed around Delhi roads.

To cover up their tracks, Ram Singh, decided to strip the victims completely before throwing them out of the bus to leave no trace of incriminating semen or blood. He also kept their mobiles and switched them off.Dropping off the others before returning the bus to Noida,he tried to destroy evidence by washing the bus with confidence and told his accomplices to not worry, and lie low for some time.

Ram Singh-the mastermind of this crime, came across as remorseless and cold during police investigations.A volatile man, he was known among friends as "Mental".His neighbours in the Ravidas slum where he lived, talk about his bad reputation and drinking problems. There's an accident case registered against him and he has admitted to being involved in several other brawls. He had also run away with a girl in his neighbourhood, sources said.

Ram Singh is the perfect example of the type of anti-social elements that are capable of committing crimes and disregard rules of society. But did anybody discourage or punish this ticking time-bomb? No.The rapist-to-be would pick up schoolchildren at 8am and drop them before picking office goers in his bus as part of his day job as a driver. We can imagine a collective shudder of our readers after reading the last line. This man ferried around school children. Little kids. It is shocking the school authorities didn't run a background check on him. Otherwise an illiterate, aggressive man who had been involved in an accident before, would have never been allowed on the roads.

This entire incident can be broken down into hypothetical sequences of what-ifs. What if she had not stayed out so late. What if she hadn't boarded the whiteline bus. But as we realized, the victim's choices had nothing to do with what happened to her afterwards. It was these men-these animals- who by the way should be hanged till death, and their overblown sense of masculinity that made them rape her.


How dare she reacted to their taunts. How dare she spoke back and stood up to them. As mentioned, the tipping point came when she bit Ram Singh's hand in defiance and was subsequently raped as a punishment. Also, the shocking confidence of the accused-that he could get away with the crime is a sad testament of the state of lawlessness in Delhi. Why didn't the bus encounter a single police check-point during it's journey? More than what they didn't do at the night of the crime, it is what the Delhi police hasn't been doing for over a decade gave the rapists the brazen confidence to commit this crime.

The police needs to send out a clear message to the men of Delhi. And they can use this incident as a starting point. Do not let this dissolve into a court case that takes 10 years to deliver justice to the wronged girl. Punish them and punish them hard, so that any animal would think twice before outraging the modesty of a woman. We hope somebody is listening
