There are tragedies in real life that never receive the attention they deserve, no one notices the severity of the issues. This gives eager directors the opportunity to portray these events in reel life to bring attention to worthy causes.

Police have confirmed that all seven suspects, including the bus driver, have been arrested in Gurdaspur District of Punjab State. A prior rape case also occurred in a bus, just a month before, took place in Delhi, India. This incident involved a 23 year old medical student who was raped and assaulted by six men and then thrown out of the bus along with her boyfriend, who had also been assaulted by the men.
