SC takes suo motu cognisance of minor's gangrape in moving bus in Delhi-NCR

Justices JB Pardiwala and K Vinod Chandran said such cases show a systematic failure by law enforcement and public authorities. Public spaces like parks and buses must not become high-risk zones due to poor lighting and poor surveillance. Two accused have been arrested.
