Justice For Nirbhaya! All 4 Convicts Hanged To Death At Tihar Jail 

It was a big day today in the national capital, as all the four convicts in the Nirbhaya gangrape case were hanged in Delhi’s Tihar jail. The hanging of convicts Akshay Kumar Singh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Mukesh Singh took place at 5:30 am on Friday. The four were hanged simultaneously, a first in Tihar Jail's history and their bodies were later sent for post-mortem.

Director General of Tihar Jail Sandeep Goel said that, the four men were declared dead at around 6:00 am; half-an-hour after they were hanged. A doctor had examined [them] and declared all four dead."

The horrifying incident dates back to December 12, after a 23-year-old medical student was gang-raped in a moving bus. It was a brutal crime that shook the country and forced people to run out on the streets protesting against women security. 

There were six accused in the case, out of which one of the six accused, Ram Singh, allegedly committed suicide in Tihar Jail in 2013. While, a juvenile, who was also among the accused, was convicted by a juvenile justice board and was later released from a reform home after serving three-years.
