The victim may have yelled for assistance, according to the attorney representing Dattatray Ramdas Gade, the defendant in the pune bus rape case.  The deed was consensual, according to his second defense lawyer. The event was said to have occurred about 5:45 a.m.  She may have yelled for assistance.  Advocate Wajid Khan told news agency ANI that nothing was done with force.

"In defense of the accused, we have told the court that whatever happened, it happened following a consent between the two," stated Sajid Shah, the second counsel advocate. "The earlier cases on him were of robbery, not rape," the defense attorney remarked about his prior offenses. He is a chronic offender, according to the investigating officer, although he has never been found guilty in any of the previous instances.

Gade was remanded 12 days of police custody
A team of the pune Crime Branch apprehended the accused Gade, who had been evading capture since the event on Tuesday, from a hamlet in the pune district's Shirur Tehsil and formally arrested him on Friday.  Dattatray Ramdas Gade, the defendant in the pune bus rape case, was placed under 12-day police detention till march 12 by a pune court on Friday.
 
When the accused approached the survivor, a working lady, she was waiting for a bus to take her back to her house in Phaltan, which was around 100 kilometers away.  Gade escorted her to an MSRTC Shivsahi bus at the depot, where he reportedly raped her after deceiving her into believing her vehicle was parked somewhere else.

Pratap Sarnaik, the State Transport minister, has ordered an urgent security examination of all bus stops and depots in the state in response to the event.
 
The minister has also directed that all registered buses parked at bus terminals and depots, as well as vehicles confiscated by transport authorities, be removed by april 15, according to a statement released on Thursday.
 
Minister Sarnaik emphasized the necessity of increasing the number of female security officers at bus stops in light of the growing number of female passengers.
