Union home secretary R K Singh said police will seek day-to-day hearing of the case for expeditious trial so that the accused could be convicted soon.
Complimenting the Delhi Police for cracking the "blind case" within a very short span of time, Singh said at a press conference that the police have been able to arrest right persons — five of them were arrested — while one was still on the run.
"With the evidence gathered so far - circumstantial, forensic and others - we are confident that we will be able to convict the accused," said Singh, who was flanked by Delhi Police top brass, including commissioner of police Neeraj Kumar.
Singh said henceforth no 'goondagardi' (rowdiness), 'dadagiri' (bullying) or misbehaviour with women will be tolerated and police action will be visible on the ground.
The home secretary said no public transport - buses, taxis, autos - will be allowed to ply in the national capital without police verification of drivers, cleaners or assistants and vehicles violating the rules would be impounded.
He said drunk driving, drinking and loitering, driving with tinted glass and other unlawful activities will be dealt firmly and all public transport will have to install GPS device for their close monitoring.
Shinde said a woman IPS officer will head a police team which has been asked to regularly take stock of the medical condition of the victim in hospital and remain in touch with her parents.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar had visited the hospital last night to see the victim.
The girl was raped allegedly by six men in a moving bus, which had tinted glass and curtains on it on Sunday night. The girl continues to be in a critical state. Police has also been asked to get all details about private bus drivers hired by schools.
Naidu wanted to know from the home minister government's response to opposition demand for capital punishment in such cases and why there was no police at the three PCR points, which the bus crossed when the crime was being committed inside it.
Shinde said the incident could not come to the notice of the PCR police as no voice was heard from inside the bus, whose window panes were tinted and had curtains.
On the demand for enhanced punishment to rape accused, he said the Criminal Law Amendment Bill for dealing with sexual offences has already been introduced in Lok Sabha which seeks to enhance punishment for such crimes up to life imprisonment.
P J Kurien, who was in the chair, said it was very serious issue. "A heinous and horrendous crime has been committed. Every mind in the House, every person is agitated. It is a shame on our country," he observed.
N K Singh (JD-U) said the issue of capital punishment can be revisited if it comes to such cases.
