A BJP MP has written to his party colleague and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to take "strict action" against officials who went ahead with the hasty cremation of a woman who was gang-raped and died after battling for her life in a hospital in Delhi.

The lawyer who fought the case against Nirbhaya's rapists has opened up about the trial in a six-part interview with 'Humans of Bombay'.

Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said Friday was a "day of satisfaction" with Nirbhaya "getting justice", but it is also time to introspect whether death-row convicts could be allowed to "manipulate" the system to delay execution.

A missing hubcap on a wheel and a white bus - these were the clues that led the police to zero in on the vehicle in which a 23-year-old physiotherapy intern was gang-raped in Delhi on December 16, 2012.

Justice may have been delivered to Nirbhaya with Friday's hanging of four men who gang-raped her, but the route she took that fateful night seven years ago still has dark zones where finding public transport is a challenge and lewd comments by leering men is a common scenario faced by woman commuters.

"Justice has prevailed," Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted after the hanging of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya caseon Friday morning, over seven years after the young medical student - who came to be known as "Nirbhaya" or fearless - was gang-raped and tortured on a moving bus in Delhi.
