La violación en grupo de una chica de 23 años inflama la India

Four Indian men convicted of the gang rape and murder of a student in Delhi in 2012 have been hanged.

Six people were arrested for the attack. One of them, Ram Singh, was found dead in jail in March 2013, having apparently taken his own life.

Another, who was 17 at the time of the attack, was released in 2015 after serving three years in a reform facility - the maximum term possible for a juvenile in India.

Reacting to the massive protests, India announced new anti-rape laws in March 2013.

They prescribed harsher punishments for rapists and addressed new crimes, including stalking, acid throwing as well as spying on a woman when naked or circulating her pictures without her consent.

They also expanded the definition of rape to state that the absence of physical struggle didn't equal consent.

Also, under the new laws, a repeat offender of rape or rape that causes coma could be given the death penalty https://perma.cc/4EWY-D982
