Bus tied to Delhi gangrape violated SC norms: 'Tinted windows, no tracker'

A private Bihar-registered bus had tinted windows, heavy curtains and no location tracker in violation of rules and guidelines. The bus allegedly took an 8km route in outer Delhi that crossed at least two police booths. The Supreme Court had prohibited the use of black films or any other material on safety glass, window screens and side glass of all vehicles in 2012. A notification in 2016 mandated vehicle location tracking devices and emergency buttons in all public service vehicles, which were absent in the bus.
