5. Four convicts in the December 16 Delhi gang-rape case were
on Friday awarded death penalty by a Delhi court which said
the gravity of the offence cannot be tolerated.
"Death to all," additional sessions judge Yogesh Khanna said
while delivering the verdict in the Delhi gang-rape case that
had evoked nationwide outrage and led the government to
bring in a stringent anti-rape law.

6. The offence committed by Mukesh (26), Akshay Thakur
(28), Pawan Gupta (19) and Vinay Sharma (20) falls under
the rarest of rare category warranting capital
punishment, the judge said.
The four were convicted by the court on September 10 for
the gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old paramedic
student.
Besides discussing others offences, I straightaway come
to section 302 (murder) of IPC. This falls under inhuman
nature of the convicts and the gravity of offence they
committed cannot be tolerated. Death sentence is given to
all the four convicts," he said.
