The victim managed to break free from her attackers at around 1.30 am and ran towards a nearby village and raised an alarm.
Based on her complaints, the villagers caught the bus conductor and the driver, who were later handed over to the police.
A case has been registered against the three men under sections Sections 366 (A) (procreation of minor girl), 342 (wrongful confinement), 376 (D) and 506 (i) (criminal intimidation) of IPC and Section 5 (g) and 6 (aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, and Section 3 (1), 3 (2) (v) of SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act, 2015.
