The verdict in the Nirbhaya gangrape case was pronounced by the Supreme Court yesterday. The court has announced death penalty to four of the men, who were held guilty of raping and torturing a 23-year-old medical student on a moving bus in Delhi.
A 23-year-old student, Jyoti was gang-raped and tortured on her way back home in Delhi in December 2012.

The Supreme Court confirmed the death sentence awarded to the four convicts in the December 16, 2012 sensational gangrape and murder case, terming it the ‘rarest of rare’, most brutal, barbaric and diabolical attack on the 23-year-old paramedic student.
The case sent a “tsunami of shock” all over, the apex court said, adding that the convicts treated the victim as an object of enjoyment, with the single purpose of ravishing her. A three-judge bench, through a unanimous verdict, upheld the Delhi High Court judgement which had concurred with the trial court decision.
On the other side, Nirbhaya’s father says, finally, he’ll get some sleep now. “I will sleep peacefully tonight,” he said, adding, “She would have turned 28 on May 10 if she had lived. Today’s verdict is a gift for her.”
