gang rape

The stranded woman could not go to her hometown Jailpur due to lockdown, and local authorities had kept her at the village school

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.

Replying to the lawyer of the rapists of Nirbhaya, Justice Manmohan said, "We are close to the time where your client can meet God."

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.

"We have struggled so much, so I am satisfied that a death warrant has been issued finally. I hope they (the convicts) will be executed on March 3", said Asha Devi, Nirbhaya's mother.

On 21st September 2019, a 15-year-old minor Dalit girl was gang-raped by three men in Ghosia village of Kaushambi district near Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The criminals had also filmed the act while the girl had been begging them for mercy in Allah's name.

The victim was found lying in the coaching institute's toilet in an unconscious state in the evening, hours after her family initiated a search.

The principal, headmaster and a woman cook have also been booked for ignoring the complaint of the victim's family.

On April 15, 2013, convicts Manoj Shah and Pradeep Kumar abducted and brutally raped the child, nicknamed Gudiya by media, in east Delhi

Nirbhaya's mother, Asha Devi, reacting sharply to Indira Jaising's suggestion said that because of people like her (Jaising), rape victims don't get justice
