Update: The SC verdict on the Delhi gang rape.
This is what the Apex court said while hearing the plea of the four convicts against the High Court's death sentence.
"Aggravating circumstances outweigh mitigating circumstances in the case; the offence created a "tsunami of shock", the Supreme Court said. The court said it confirms the findings of the trial court and the Delhi High
Court against the four convicts in the case. "The nature and manner of the crime devastated social trust and falls in the 'rarest of rare' category warranting the death penalty." A three-judge bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra wrote two separate but concurring judgements in the case.
