The incident occurred early in the morning, around 5:30 AM, just 100 meters from a police station, sparking widespread outrage over security lapses in a busy public area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The accused, identified as Dattatray Ramdas Gade, a 37-year-old resident of Gunat village in Shirur Tehsil, Pune district, was arrested on February 28, 2025, after a 75-hour manhunt. Gade, a history-sheeter with a criminal record including six cases of theft, robbery, and chain-snatching across Pune and Ahilyanagar districts, had been out on bail since 2019. He allegedly lured the victim, a preoperative counsellor waiting for a bus to Phaltan in Satara district, by addressing her as &#8220;didi&#8221; (sister) and offering assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He then led her to an empty parked bus where the assault took place. Pune Police launched an extensive search operation involving 13 teams, drones, a dog squad, and over 100 officers. A <strong>Rs 1 lakh<\/strong> reward was offered for information leading to his capture. Gade was finally apprehended around midnight on February 27-28 in Shirur Tehsil, reportedly after he requested food and water from a house, which tipped off authorities. He was brought to Pune, medically examined, and formally arrested, with plans to produce him in court on February 28. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case has raised serious questions about women&#8217;s safety in public spaces. Maharashtra\u2019s Transport Minister ordered a security audit of all bus depots, and 23 security guards at Swargate were suspended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Political leaders, including Deputy Chief Ministers <strong>Devendra Fadnavis<\/strong> and Ajit Pawar, condemned the incident, with some calling for the death penalty. The National Commission for Women took suo motu cognizance, demanding swift action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident has drawn comparisons to past high-profile cases like Nirbhaya, reigniting debates about crime prevention and justice in India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26-Year-Old Woman Raped in Stationary Bus at Pune\u2019s Swargate Depot; Accused Arrested After 75-Hour Manhunt Pune, 28 Feb, 2025: On February 25, 2025, a 26-year-old woman was allegedly raped inside a stationary Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) bus at the Swargate bus depot in Pune, Maharashtra.
