On 28 November, 22-year-old Aarti and 19-year-old Pooja boarded a state-run bus on their way home from college.
In the 40-second video of that bus ride, Pooja can be seen hitting a man with a belt while he holds Aarti down by her collar. The second man is partially hidden behind his friend. The third man is not seen and at what point he joins the duo is still unclear.
The three men were arrested on charges of sexual harassment but later released on bail. They have denied the allegations against them.
Local police chief Shashank Anand said it took a long time to trace witnesses as the road transport department does not keep a list of passengers.
"Identifying passengers was a painstaking process, even after we traced them, only a few agreed to testify and they too requested that their identities be kept secret," he said. More + photos...
