The condition of the girl had deteriorated and she was placed on ventilator with grave injuries in the stomach and intestines, press information officer at the Safdarjung Hospital said. She bore signs of having been beaten with a blunt object, he added.
The 23-year-old Delhi girl who was gang-raped and thrown off a bus is in a "very critical condition", authorities at the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi said.
"The patient is very critical," SN Makwana, press information officer at the Safdarjung Hospital, said.
The boy was taken Safdarjung but discharged.
The condition of the girl had deteriorated and she was placed on ventilator with grave injuries in the stomach and intestines, the official said. She bore signs of having been beaten with a blunt object, he added.
The incident took place late last night when the girl along with her male friend, who is an engineer and currently working in a firm, took a White Line bus from Munirka in south Delhi to Dwarka at around 10.00 pm.
During the journey, the girl was allegedly gand raped by a group of five to six men and even assaulted her when she resisted their attempt. The victim's friend was also beaten up and both were thrown off the bus near Mahipalpur flyover an hour later.
Passers-by had informed the police who came to the spot and rushed the duo to AIIMS from where the girl was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital.
Doctors at the hospital said the victim was in a "critical condition" and that she is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
A case has been registered at the Vasant Vihar Police Station, but no arrests have been made so far.
The girl, who studies in a college in Dehra Dun, is in the capital for her internship.
The incident evoked sharp reactions from women organisations as well as political parties with NCW chairperson Mamata Sharma leading the campaign.
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said the permit of the bus has been cancelled by the Transport Department and necessary action would be taken to ensure such incidents don't happen in the future.
"I have been told by transport department that their licence has been cancelled. We will take all the necessary measures to ensure that such incidents don't happen," she said.
Describing the incident as 'shocking', Delhi Women and Child Development Minister Kiran Walia said that government would seriously work on installing CCTV cameras inside buses.
"This is shocking incident. I hope that the guilty are punished for the heinous crime," she said.
Accusing the Delhi government of handling the law and order matter "carelessly", BJP spokesperson Muqhtar Abbas Naqvi said such incidents take place regularly but they are neither taken seriously by the Home Ministry nor by the police.
"This incident will be replaced with another incident after few days. I believe that Delhi's law and order and security issues are handled carelessly by the government," Naqvi said.
