Moga: After massive protests and mounting criticism over the death of a 13-year-old in an alleged molestation bid in one of the buses owned by him, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday pulled buses run by Orbit Aviation off the roads.
Sukhbir Badal, who is the major shareholder in the company, has asked the company to send the bus operating staff on an orientation course and has ordered that no buses should run till the completion of the course.
A press release from Orbit Aviation later said it had withdrawn all its buses, and set up a helpline for the convenience of passengers. The announcement came even as police confirmed that they had identified one of the co-passengers traveling with the girl in the bus.
