Nirbhaya Parents

The Nirbhaya squad of police in Mumbai's Bhandup on Thursday reunited a young woman with her family, hours after she left home on being scolded by parents, an official said.

Eight years after a harrowing incident changed her life and the uphill battle that followed to ensure that her daughter's culprits were punished, Nirbhaya's mother Asha Devi has bravely resolved to fight for bringing justice to survivors and victims of sexual assault.

The hanging of the four men convicted of the 2012 gang-rape of Nirbhaya will not bring justice to her parents, former Supreme Court judge Kurian Joseph said on Wednesday, two days before their scheduled execution. Justice Joseph questioned whether such crimes would stop with this hanging.

The parents of a 23-year-old woman who was brutally assaulted and gangraped in 2012 on Monday expressed hope that the four convicts will finally be hanged on March 3, the latest execution date fixed by a court after two earlier death warrants against the convicts were stayed.

After a Delhi court adjourned for February 17 the hearing on Nirbhaya's parents' petition seeking fresh death warrants against the convicts, her mother Asha Devi today said that she hopes the warrants will be issued on that day.

The appeal of the parents of Nirbhaya -- calling for fresh death warrants for the men who brutally tortured and killed their 23-year-old daughter -- will be heard tomorrow, a Delhi court said as the one-week deadline given by the High Court to end the legal process before the execution came to an end today.

Seven years after Nirbhaya's death, a court declared that four men convicted of gang-raping, torturing and killing her will hang on January 22. "For seven years, I cried tears of blood," said her mother, describing her fight for justice a painful one.

Hangman Pawan Jallad, who officials say is being considered to carry out the execution of the four Nirbhaya gang-rape case convicts, says he is ready for the job which will send out a strong message in the society. He said executing those who were involved in the horrific crime will bring "great relief" to him, Nirbhaya's parents and everybody else...

A request by Nirbhaya's parents to immediately hang four men convicted in the 2012 gang-rape and murder of their daughter will be taken up by a Delhi court on December 18. The court said a hearing can't take place before a petition by one of the convicts seeking a review of his death sentence is heard by the Supreme Court.

The parents of Nirbhaya, whose gang-rape and murder in December 2012 in Delhi shook the nation, have congratulated the Telangana Police after the force claimed they shot dead four accused in the gang-rape and murder of a veterinarian.

A Delhi court on Saturday admitted a petition filed by parents of Nirbhaya who was gang-raped in 2012, seeking transfer of the case to another judge after the two judges who were hearing the case got transferred.

As campaigning picks up steam in Delhi with leaders motivating people to exercise their franchise, Asha Devi and Badri Nath Singh, the parents of the woman who was gangraped and killed and came to be known as Nirbhaya, say they might not vote this time at all.

The parents of 'Nirbhaya', the 23-year-old paramedic student who was gang-raped and murdered in December 2012, has requested a Delhi court to fast-track the procedure to hang all four convicts Delhi's Patiala House Court will hear the petition on March 2.

The mother of the 23-year-old medical student who was gangraped and tortured in a moving bus in Delhi nearly six years ago, welcomed the Supreme Court order that confirmed that the five men responsible will hang.

The Supreme Court will decide today whether the four convicts in the 2012 Delhi gang-rape and murder of a 23-year-old paramedic student will be hanged or not.
