Nirbhaya case: PM Modi says 'Justice has prevailed' on hanging of the convicts
After the four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya case were hanged in Tihar jail on Friday morning, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, Justice has prevailed. It is of utmost importance to ensure dignity and safety of women.Our Nari Shakti has excelled in every field. Together, we have to build a nation where the focus is on women empowerment, where there is emphasis on equality and opportunity.
All four convicts in the Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case -- Akshay Singh Thakur, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma, and Mukesh Singh -- were hanged till death at 5:30 am on Friday.
The hanging was carried out as per schedule after a three-judge Supreme Court bench rejected the final plea by the convicts' lawyer AP Singh to stay their execution in a late-night hearing.
