The Dhaka Times Desk Punishment of the four Delhi rapists will be announced today at 2 pm on Friday. Court judge Yogendra Khanna on Tuesday found the four accused guilty of rape and murder.
On Wednesday, the judge heard the arguments and counter-arguments of the lawyers for the plaintiff and the defendant in the court on the term of punishment. After the hearing, the judge adjourned the verdict. He said that the judgment will be announced at 2.30 pm on Friday. Delhi Police lawyer Dayan Krishnan pleaded that the four convicts be hanged for the heinous crime.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the court premises in south Delhi on Wednesday to hear the verdict. They started chanting 'I want hanging'. The police had to struggle to control the agitated crowd.
It may be noted that Mukesh Singh, Akshay Thakur, Pawan Gupta and Dinesh Sharma were found guilty of murdering a 23-year-old medical student in a moving bus in December last year. Their lawyers appealed for 'pardon'.
