Nirbhaya case
The statement of the 23-year-old physiotherapy student, who was gang-raped and assaulted on a moving bus on December 16, was recorded by a sub-divisional magistrate at the Safdarjung Hospital here on Friday night.The girl and her male friend fought bravely but she suffered fatal injuries and was admitted to Delhi's Safdarjung hospital. Despite the best efforts by the doctors, her condition kept on deteriorating and she had to moved to a Singapore hospital even as thousands of youngsters protested on the streets of Delhi demanding justice for her. She finally succumbed to her injuries on December 29, 2012.The Victim and her male friend were returning to Dwarka after watching a movie at Select City walk mall in Saket, Delhi, and were lured by the six accused. After the duo entered the bus, the accused began to harass the women which led to an altercation. The accused beat the 28-year-old male friend and then took turns to rape the woman.
After a nine-month-long trial, fast track court on Friday handed down death penalty to all the four convicts in the Delhi gang rape and murder case. The court while pronouncing the judgement said that "it cannot turn a blind eye on the rising cases of sexual assault against women" and that the incident shook the "collective conscience of the society".
July 14, 2014: The Supreme Court stayed till further orders the execution of death penalty of two of the four convicts. It stayed the execution of Vinay Sharma (21) and Akshay Thakur (29), who were convicted along with other two - Mukesh (27) and Pawan Gupta (20) - whose death sentence was already stayed.
