Delhi Police has submitted before the local court that there is no evidence yet to confirm whether the nine-year-old girl was raped before being killed near Delhi Cantonment
Six men were accused of gang-raping and murdering the 23-year-old medical student, who came to be called Nirbhaya. Of the six, four were convicted, one was a juvenile, who got convicted by the juvenile justice board.
The order by a Delhi court comes after President Ram Nath Kovind had rejected the mercy petition of Pawan Gupta, one of the convicts in the Nirbhaya case.
