A death warrant has been issued setting a date of execution of January 23 for four men convicted of the 2012 rape and murder of a student on a bus in New Delhi. The young woman and her male companion were lured onto the bus and attacked. They beat the crap out of the man with a metal bar then gang-raped and similarly beat the women. Both victims were then thrown off the bus. The woman died two weeks later. In a very uncharacteristic act the perpetrators were not only prosecuted but convicted.
The dead victim is being referred to as Nirbhaya (Fearless) in the press as it is illegal in Indian to publish the name of sexual assault victims.
