Chennai, Jun 7 (IBNS): A 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped inside a private bus on Monday night by three men in Salem district, Tamil Nadu.

The victim has been identified as a class 10 student, who hails from the same city, reports said.

It all started with a family feud as the girl left her home following an argument with her parents. She went to Salem Old Bus Stand and boarded a private bus, taking multiple trips and stayed put after the last one was over.

When the conductor approached her, the minor told him about her argument with her parents.

Later the conductor Perumal (22), the bus driver Manivannan (33) and another person Murugan (35) allegedly raped her near Narayanampalayam area of the district.

The victim managed to break free from her attackers at around 1.30 am and ran towards a nearby village and raised an alarm.

Based on her complaints, the villagers caught the bus conductor and the driver, who were later handed over to the police.

A case has been registered against the three men under sections Sections 366 (A) (procreation of minor girl), 342 (wrongful confinement), 376 (D) and 506 (i) (criminal intimidation) of IPC and Section 5 (g) and 6 (aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, and Section 3 (1), 3 (2) (v) of SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act, 2015.
