The Delhi High Court will on Thursday pronounce its verdict on confirming the death sentence and appeals of four convicted in December 16 gang-rape case.
A division bench of Justice Reva Khetrapal and Justice Pratibha Rani will pronounce the verdict in the afternoon.
A Delhi court had on September 13 awarded death sentence to four of the rapists — Mukesh, 26, Akshay Thakur, 28, Pawan Gupta, 19, and Vinay Sharma, 20 — on 11 counts, including gang-rape, murder, dacoity, unnatural offences and destruction of evidence.
The court later sent the case to the high court for confirmation of the death sentence.
The young woman was brutally gang-raped by six people, including a minor, in a moving bus in December 2012. The men had also robbed the victim and her male friend and then threw them out in the night to die.
While the minor has been sent to a reform home for three years, one of the main accused committed suicide in prison.
