Rohtak (Haryana):
An incident of two sisters courageously taking on three youths who were harassing them while other passengers in the bus remained mute spectators has come to light in Haryana's Rohtak town, police officials said on Sunday.
The brave girls, Aarti and Pooja, thrashed the youths even as they were themselves assaulted by them. The girls hit the youths with a belt and their hands and legs in the incident that took place last week.
The matter came to light after a woman travelling in the same state transport bus recorded the incident on her mobile phone.
Police, following a complaint by the girls, registered a case against the youth. No arrests have been made so far.
Other passengers in the bus, including the bus driver and conductor, did not come to rescue or help the two girls. The bus kept moving as the girls were being assaulted.
The sisters claimed that the bus stopped after some distance and the youths pushed them out of the bus and started hitting them.
One of the sisters then attacked the youths with brick after which they fled from the spot.
The bus crew and other passengers neither helped the girls nor did they inform police.
