In 2012, 6 accused men were arrested in Delhi in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case. On Friday, at 5:30 am, the aforesaid were hanged to death at Tihar Jail, New Delhi. This landmark step has been taken after 7 years as people around the country were waiting for strict action against the convicts.
On December 16, 2012, 6 men named Ram Singh, Mukesh Singh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Akshay Kumar Singh along with a 17-year-old juvenile brutally raped a 23-year-old physiotherapy student in Delhi in a bus. She suffered a lot of internal and external injuries on her body which led to her unfortunate death.

One of the rapists, Ram Singh had committed suicide in 2013 in his cell and the juvenile was released from the jail a few years later. However, Nirbhaya’s parents and the whole nation have been waiting for the law to apply capital punishment to the 4 convicts and it finally happened.
As reported by News 18, about this execution, Nirbhaya’s mother Asha Devi said, “Finally the convicts will be hanged. Now I will get peace.”
As soon as the news was out, many people took to their Twitter page to laud the decision. One of the Twitter users wrote, “Justice delayed, but not denied.
Finally all victims hanged up
