The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the death penalty for the four convicted in the 2012 Delhi gang rape case.
"She was reduced to an object for their gross sadistic pleasures. They played with her dignity in a devilish manner," the court said. The crime was a devastation of social trust and of inconceivable brutality.
On the events of that fateful day, the court said, "Little did she know on that cold winter night that her world would come to a devastating end... Convicts left the victim and her companion for dead, tried to run over them with the bus, looted them and shared the booty."
