Scores of people, chanting 'long live Nirbhaya' and 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' and carrying tricolor in their hands gathered outside the Tihar jail complex in the early hours of Friday. The people were seen distributing sweets after the four convicts in Nirbhaya gang rape and murder were hanged in Tihar Prison. The people were even carrying posters which read 'Nirbhaya has got justice. The other daughters still await'.
Following the hanging of the convicts, the security was beefed up outside the Tihar Jail.
"Justice has been finally delivered and it was a victory of the legal system," said Yogita Bhayana, a social activist who was outside Tihar jail since 4 am along with her friends.
Akash Deep, who has been associated with Nirbhaya's family, said he came to witness the victory after a long-drawn legal battle that continued for over seven years. "It was a tough fight. However, justice was won today," said Akash.
