Delhi Gangrape Case: All 4 Convicts Sentenced To Death

Soon after the verdict was delivered, people waiting outside the courtroom started clapping. The girl's mother said that no such victim should remain silent and must come forward to lodge a complaint.

Defence counsel A P Singh said he will move high court only "if no other rape takes place in next two months after this verdict".

"If the country wanted this case to be a deterrent, I will wait for two months to see the crime scene. If no rape takes place due to death being given in the instant case, I will give in writing that my clients be hanged," he said.

Vinay, who started crying and screaming after the order, sat down in the courtroom when the police personnel came to take him back to jail.

The post-lunch work at the Saket Court had come to a standstill with court staff members and litigants eagerly waiting for the pronouncement of the quantum of sentence.

The corridors of six-storeyed court building was crowded with people. Groups of people had assembled outside the court complex to know about the verdict and as soon as the order was delivered, they started raising slogans that the juvenile convicted in the case by the Juvenile Justice Board, should also be hanged.

"Juvenile ko bhi phansi do (Give death penalty to juvenile also," was the slogan raised by people outside the court complex.

The juvenile accused was on August 31 convicted and sentenced to a maximum of three years in a reformation home.
