NEW DELHI: Even as angry protest over the horrific gang-rape of a woman in Delhi rages, another girl was molested in the national capital on Saturday night.

The 16-year-old girl was molested by an off-duty conductor in a moving DTC cluster bus at Tansen Marg.

"The girl had boarded cluster orange bus. When it reached near Mandi House around 11 pm, she was molested by the conductor of another bus who was travelling in the same vehicle," a senior police official said.

He said the girl had left the house angry with her family.

"The girl left her house at around 9.30pm. The bus reached Mandi House at around 11 pm. A separate case of kidnapping is found registered about the same girl at her home police station. She left the house due to unhappiness with her family," the official said.

The girl was spotted crying on the bus, which was plying between Khayala to Lajpat Nagar.

The cops patrolling near Mandi House arrested the accused, Ranjeet Singh, and detained the driver of the cluster bus in which the girl was molested.

A case under sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of Indian Penal Code has been registered at the Barakhmaba road police station.
