New Delhi: A court in Delhi, India on Tuesday issued the death warrant against all four convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case that shook the country. The execution has been scheduled for 7 am on January 22.
Akshay Thakur Singh, Mukesh, Pawan Gupta, and Vinay Sharma were found guilty in 2012 gang-rape, torture and killing of a young medical student in Delhi.
