The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the death sentence on all four convicts in the gang rape case that led to the victim's death and caused national outrage.
Later speaking to reporters, the DCW chief said that it was not the fight of Nirbhaya's family only but of an entire nation.
"Such a verdict was very much needed. It will now send a strong message that the system will not spare the people who indulge in rape crimes," Jaihind said.
