Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today pulled buses run by Orbit Aviation off the roads, after massive protests over the death of a 14-year-old who was molested and then thrown off a moving bus on Wednesday.

Mr Badal 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.

The Akali government is facing intense political heat over the teen's death. The 14-year-old girl and her mother were abused and groped by a group of men, including the conductor, before being thrown from the bus on Wednesday. The bus was run by Orbit Aviation, co-owned by Sukhbir Singh Badal's family.
