A three-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted while travelling on a moving bus in Uttar Pradesh's Chitrakoot district, police said. The accused was apprehended by the child's mother immediately after the incident and later handed over to the police, who have registered a case and arrested him. According to reports, a woman from the Raipura area was traveling back home by a state transport (Roadways) bus after taking her two daughters to Prayagraj for medical treatment. As the bus passed through Mau town, a man identified as Rajkishore, a resident of Manikpur, sat on the seat next to the woman.
