Police say the fight allegedly started over who pays
A Delhi gang-rape case from Outer Delhi’s Nangloi has taken a new turn after the accused claimed it was a monetary dispute rather than an assault. The 30-year-old complainant alleged she was dragged onto a private sleeper bus, taken to a secluded spot, and sexually assaulted by the driver and conductor. Police recorded her statement under Section 164, seized the bus for forensic checks, and are reviewing CCTV and technical details as officers verify both timelines.
