2012 Nirbhaya gangrape: Delhi court issues death warrants against all four convicts, executions to take place on Jan 22
New Delhi/IBNS: A Delhi Court on Tuesday issued death warrants against all the four convicts in the 2012 Delhi Gangrape incident.
The convicts will now be hanged on Jan 22 at 7 am.
"My daughter will now get justice," the victim's mother Asha Devi told media.
"All women in the country will now trust the law and order system," Asha Devi said.
She said Jan 22 will be a 'big day' for them.
The Supreme Court recently rejected the review petition filed by Akshay Singh who is one of the convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape case.
The court rejected the petition saying it had no merits upholding the death sentence of the convict.
On Dec 16, 2012, Nirbhaya, who was a 23-year female physiotherapy intern, was gang-raped, assaulted and tortured at a private bus in Delhi when she was travelling with her friend.
She was raped by six people including the driver of the bus.
The victim had succumbed to her injuries 13 days after the horrific crime was committed.
The incident had sparked national and international outrage. Both the state and central government were brought under the scanner for not providing adequate protection to women in the national capital.
