A fast-track court of Delhi on Friday sentenced to death Mukesh Singh,
26, Akshay Thakur, 28, Pawan Gupta, 19, and Vinay Sharma, 20 for the
gang rape and murder of a para-medical student in the capital on
December 16, 2012. The 23-year-old passed away in a Singapore hospital
on December 29.
Calling it a rarest of rare case, additional sessions judge Yogesh Khanna said, “A crime of such nature against a helpless woman requires exemplary punishment...
courts cannot turn a blind eye to the need to send a strong deterrent message to the perpetrators of such crimes.” Sharma broke down after the sentencing while the others pleaded for mercy.
