Her mother wept and the courtroom burst into applause as the Supreme Court said today that four of the men held guilty of raping and torturing a 23-year-old medical student on a moving bus in Delhi in December 2012 will hang. The top court described the crime as a "story of a different world" saying the "brutal and demonic" crime had been proved beyond doubt.

What does the Nirbhaya verdict mean for the safety of women in this country?
