The Saket fast-track court in south Delhi will deliver its verdict on the December 16 Delhi gang rape at 12.30 pm today. The four adults accused in the gang rape and murder of the Delhi Braveheart are at the Saket Court now. The other charges against them include kidnapping, criminal conspiracy, robbery, and unnatural sexual offences.

Six people were arrested in the case that shook the country and the world. Ram Singh, Mukesh Singh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Akshay Thakur faced trial in the Saket court, one of the five fast-track courts set up in the wake of the gang rape.

The juvenile's case was heard by the Juvenile Justice Board. On August 31, he was sentenced to three years in a remand home. The case against Ram Singh was dropped after he was found dead, hanging in his Tihar Jail cell, on March 11.

Of the four remaining adult accused, Mukesh Singh is being represented by V K Anand, Pawan Gupta by Vivek Sharma, and Vinay Sharma and Akshay Thakur are being represented by A P Singh. Till April, M L Sharma represented Mukesh Singh. Sharma says his client was tortured to ensure the case was transferred to Anand, who he accuses of being a police stooge.

If found guilty, Mukesh, Pawan, Vinay and Akshay are likely to face the death sentence.So far, the three defence lawyers spent much of their time in court, and out of it, sniping at each other.
