Moga molestation case: AIDWA demands action against accused

All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA) general secretary Jagmati Sangwan on Thursday dubbed the Moga

molestation case as 'painful' and said that action should not only be taken against the accused but also the passengers who sat as mute

spectators while the incident took place.

"This is a very painful incident in a state like Punjab. Action should be taken against the accused, but also the passengers who were present

in the bus and did not react when the incident was taking place," Sangwan told ANI here.

"The only reason she jumped off the bus was because no one came to her rescue," she added.

According to reports, a 13-year-old girl died and her mother suffered serious injuries yesterday when they had to jump out of a moving bus

to avoid molestation by some youth near Punjab's Moga town. The girl was declared brought dead by the doctors.

The police has impounded the bus.

The woman was travelling to meet her relatives at a nearby village with her daughter when the untoward incident took place.
