Just After Nirbhaya Gangrape Verdict, Twitter Went Nostalgic

Finally, after years of struggle, Nirbhaya got justice. Today, the Supreme Court decided on the petitions of the four convicts who have challenged their death penalty in the 2012.

The accused were awarded death sentence in September 2013; the sentence was upheld by the Delhi High Court as well in 2014. The four whose fate was decided today are Vinay Sharma, Mukesh, Pawan, and Akshay Thakur.

One of the accused, Ram Singh hanged himself in prison, while another person, who was a juvenile at the time of the crime, was convicted in August last year and will serve the maximum sentence of three years in a reform home.

And later today, Supreme Court decided not to lift up the hang charges from all the accused. Here is what people have to say about the final verdict.

The Juvenile allowed to walk free.He was old enough to commit a heinous crime like Rape but not old enough for Punishment. Why??#Nirbhaya

Every killer you kill never kills again, so it should be a capital punishment for them.#Nirbhaya pic.twitter.com/QY9Vuz0rTL

Even today after #Nirbhaya so many women continue to be raped/ humiliated and denied justice. I hope today we reach out to them as well
