Nirbhaya Gang-rape Case

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.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh Wednesday over the brutal torture of the 20-year-old in Hathras, saying she was "killed by a ruthless government".

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.
