NirbhayaAfter a Delhi court ruled that all the four convicts will be hanged in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape case, former Indian cricketer and BJP lawmaker Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday hailed the court's order, saying that 'India's daughter gets justice.'

 

Gambhir took to Twitter: "Finally! India's daughter gets JUSTICE! #Nirbhaya." Earlier, the Patiala House Court ruled that all four death row convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape case will be hanged on January 22 at 7 am.

Additional Session Judge Satish Kumar Arora issued the death warrant in the presence of all convicts, who were produced before the court through video conferencing.

The 23-year-old girl was raped and murdered by six men on a moving bus in south Delhi on December 16, 2012.
