The hanging of four death row convicts behind the brutal gang rape and murder of a young woman in 2012 will take place on March 20, a Delhi court has ruled, following a series of delays.
In its ruling, the court said that the four men had exhausted all of their legal remedies – apparently signaling that the years-long ordeal to carry out the executions would finally be coming to a close.
The four convicts were set to hang at the start of March, but a last-minute court order deferred the execution indefinitely. The move represented the latest foot-dragging by authorities in a case that has lasted nearly eight years, sparking outrage across India.
