March 20 is a significant historical event in India's legal history, as four individuals convicted of gang rape and murder of a young woman were executed in 2020.
Seven years after a medical student's gang-raped and tortured assault in Delhi, India executed four perpetrators—Akshay Thakur, 31, Pawan Gupta, 25, Vinay Sharma, 26, and Mukesh Singh, 32—at 5:30 am on March 20, 2020.
The act led to widespread outrage and significant legal reforms and societal discussions on women's safety and gender-based violence. "Nirbhaya", a fearless victim of brutality, sparked nationwide protests demanding justice and systemic changes to prevent future atrocities.
The Indian Supreme Court upheld the death penalty for four women's crimes, marking a significant milestone in the fight for justice and highlighting the gravity of such crimes.
The Nirbhaya case underscores the need to combat gender-based violence, sparking discussions on equality, law enforcement, and cultural transformations. March 20 serves as a poignant memorial.
