New Delhi: In line with its zero tolerance policy, the Army will not go ahead with the recruitment process of two of the three alleged molesters onboard a moving Haryana roadways bus, who had cleared physical and medical tests for the force.
Army sources said the next step for the youths would have been a written test but since they have been booked under an FIR for such an act, they will be barred from further recruitment process.
"We take such issues very seriously and we have a zero tolerance policy. Two of the youths had cleared physical and medical tests in one of the rallies held in Haryana recently but they would not be allowed to take part in further process which is a written test," the sources said.
Haryana government suspended the driver and conductor of the roadways bus in which two college-going sisters were eve-teased by three youths.
The Director General of Haryana Transport department has ordered to suspend bus driver Balwan Singh and conductor Labh Singh of bus with registration no-HR 69 6150 with immediate effect, an official order issued in this regard said. All the three youths -- Kuldeep, Mohit and Deepak - were later arrested. They were remanded in judicial custody till December 6.
Meanwhile residents of Kansla village from where the three accused hail have served an ultimatum on the district administration to release the three boys within 24 hours.
The residents have alleged that a false FIR has been registered against the three which should be quashed.
"Our family has taught us not to be afraid, to stand up for ourselves," said their oldest sister in a village that is celebrating the girls' bravery.
The sisters acted after enduring the lewd comments, abuses, obscene gestures and finally touches of the men. The incident was recorded by a woman passenger on mobile phone.
"They threw chits with their mobile phone numbers at us. When my sister shouted, they started abusing us. On the bus, they made obscene gestures, touched us and abused us. We could not take it anymore and started beating them. One of the men grabbed my sister's hand and the other held me by the neck. That's when my sister took out her belt and started hitting them," said Pooja.
Haryana government announced that it will honour the two sisters, who single-handedly took on three alleged molesters in a moving bus, on Republic Day as the girls came in for praise for their bravery.
Both the girls had shown indomitable courage and bravery by opposing the misdemeanour of three youth who tried to "molest" them in a moving bus of Haryana Roadways at Rohtak, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said in a statement, adding effective steps will be taken to ensure security of women passengers.
