A day after the Moga bus molestation case rocked the nation, victim's relatives accused the Punjab Police of mounting pressure to strike a compromise as the arrested goons are employees of a transport company owned by the state's most influential political family.

"They have not threatened us but got my thumb impressions on some blank papers. The person who asked me to is known to me and I cannot say him no," girl's father Sukhdev Singh said.

Suicide threat

Meanwhile, victim's grandmother Surjeet Kaur on Friday threatened: "I will commit suicide if my granddaughter does not get justice."

The family has also not given consent for post-mortem examination of the victim who died on the spot after she was pushed off the bus by the conductor. They have also refused to cremate her.

Meanwhile, Chairman of Punjab Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Rajesh Bahga on Friday announced an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh for the family and Rs 1.20 lakh for treatment of the injured woman.

The family has demanded cancellation of bus permits being run by Orbit Aviation besides Rs 50 lakh in compensation and a government job to a family member.

Victim's brother Aakashdeep, 12, told the media: "My mother and sister cried for help but nobody came forward. They (conductor, cleaner and their accomplice) first pushed my sister and then my mother from the running bus. I kept sitting in the bus and jumped off after it slowed at a point. My sister's head was bleeding and my mother was unconscious. Some people took them to a hospital," he said.

Town tense

Moga town remained tense on Friday as Congress and AAP staged protests. AAP's Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann met the victim's family.

Congress has demanded registration of criminal cases against Bhatinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal and her husband and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal.

Punjab Congress chief Partap Singh Bajwa said the Congress would gherao Orbit buses in Mohali from 11.00 am on May 4.

He demanded Harsimrat's resignation from the Union Cabinet. "She should have owned responsibility for the tragedy rather than feigning ignorance about ownership of Orbit companies whose managing director is her husband Sukhbir Singh Badal," Bajwa said.

Sukhbir is 'sad'

A day after the incident, Sukhbir said: "I am with the grieving family in their hour of extreme sorrow and want to assure them that those responsible for bringing this tragedy upon them would be given exemplary punishment."

Referring to ownership of the company, Badal said it only adds to our responsibility.

Meanwhile, the Punjab government on Friday set up a high-level committee headed by state's Chief Secretary Sarvesh Kaushal to suggest ways to ensure safety and security to commuters in public transport.
