The four men — Akshay Kumar Singh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Mukesh Singh — were hanged at 5:30 am at Delhi’s Tihar Jail.
The four were convicted for the gang-raping and murdering a 23-year-old medical student, who came to be called Nirbhaya, in a moving bus in Delhi in December 2012. She subsequently died of her injuries.
Justice delivered: Nirbhaya’s mother
Speaking to media shortly after the four Nirbhaya convicts were hanged, the victim’s mother, Asha Devi, thanked the judiciary and the government for ensuring that the rapists of her daughter were executed. “It may have taken time, but justice was finally delivered,” she said.
