one more nirbhaya. The rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital reminded us of the Nirbhaya incident that happened in Delhi in 2012. The way people have come out on the streets in different parts of the country for the doctor daughter, people had come out on the streets in the same way in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case of Delhi. In 2012, there was such a massive protest at India Gate that people still get scared remembering that day. After 12 years, once again people have come out on the streets in the entire country to get justice for the doctor daughter of Kolkata.
Out of the 6 convicts of the Nirbhaya case that shook the entire country on the cold night of Delhi on 16 December 2012, 4 have been hanged. One accused committed suicide in Tihar. While, a minor was released. But, a minor is now living the life of a common man. Let us tell you that on the night of 16 December 2012, a 23-year-old paramedical student was gang-raped by 6 people in a moving bus. After a long legal battle that lasted 7 years, four culprits of Nirbhaya gang rape were hanged on 20 March 2020.

What happened on the night of 16 December 2012
Nirbhaya’s four convicts Pawan, Vinay, Mukesh, Akshay were hanged. All four were hanged at 05.30 am on March 20, 2020. It took seven years to give justice to Nirbhaya and hang the culprits. Delhi Police had registered an FIR against all six people in this case, in which a case was registered against a minor accused under the Juvenile Act.
The minor culprit who incited the five to commit the brutality has been released after serving a 3-year sentence. On 16 December 2024, it will be 12 years since the Nirbhaya incident. That minor person is married and living his life today. In fact, the ‘minor’ person is the only one whose face was neither revealed to the world nor did his family tell anyone.
Did the minor in the Nirbhaya case get married?
The minor accused in the Nirbhaya case is a resident of a village in Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh. The financial condition of the family was bad earlier, but has improved a bit in the last few years. The father is mentally ill. Apart from the parents, there are two younger sisters and two brothers in the house. The minor man is also married and both his sisters are also married.
Let us tell you that after the Nirbhaya gang rape case, the definition of rape was changed in the country. Earlier, sexual penetration was considered rape, but later molestation and sexual exploitation by other means were also included in rape. Despite this, a brutal man has started a debate to strengthen this law by raping and killing a doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College.
