Anjana Sukhani: The most honest and justified news of the day....delhi gang rape convicts get death sentence . May your soul now rest in peace. Justice delayed but thank god not denied. Thank you for restoring our faith in the judicial system.

Ashish Chowdhry: Today's verdict is a welcome one. But there's more to it-Just being hanged is a mild one. Juvenile laws need change. Non-murder rapes are as bad.

Bunch of us women having lunch clapped in the restaurant after watching the news on TV. Nirbhaya's soul will finally rest in peace!! I am personally disappointed at the juveniles sentence wish it was more, really wonder what will happen to him after 3 years, will he come out "reformed" or a bigger criminal?

Ashwin Mushran: Amidst all of this, one has to remember that the death sentence is for murder and not rape. There will still be a long road ahead for change.

Poonam Pandey: It is real Friday the 13th for all the four convicts.


Varun Dhawan: Death sentence in Delhi gangrape deserved hope. Any perverts looking with a dirty eye at women will understand how India deals with this now.
