Four men have been sentenced to death for the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old woman on a bus in Delhi.
A judge said Akshay Thakur, Vinay Sharma, Pawan Gupta and Mukesh Singh should face the death penalty after they were convicted of the brutal attack.
They lured their victim and her male friend onto the bus last December before raping the woman, assaulting her with an iron bar and dumping her on the roadside with her friend.
She suffered serious internal injuries and died in hospital in Singapore 13 days after the attack.
New laws were introduced and existing ones amended, while fast-track courts were set up to try men accused of sexual crimes.
A defence lawyer in the case involving Thakur, Sharma, Gupta and Singh had asked for sentences of life imprisonment, saying Indian law calls for execution only in exceptional cases.
However, prosecutor Dayan Krishnan joined the victim's family and leading politicians in calling for the men to be given the death penalty, telling the court: "There can be nothing more diabolic than a helpless girl put through torture."
A fifth defendant in the case, Ram Singh, was found hanged in his cell in Delhi's Tihar prison in March.
A sixth person, who was a juvenile at the time of the attack, has already been found guilty of murder, rape and kidnapping and sentenced to three years in a correction facility.
