The sisters, 22-year-old Aarti and 19-year-old Pooja, spoke to BBC Hindi about the incident:
"The men started to abuse me and touch me. I told them 'if you touch me again, you'll get beaten up'. They called a friend on the phone and told him to 'come over because we have to beat up some girls'," Pooja said.
They decided to take on their attackers when other on the bus failed to help the. "No one came forward in the bus to help us. So we took out our belts in self-defence [and hit the men]. If only the other passengers had helped us, we would not have needed to retaliate in this way," one of them said.
