The people of India I cry with you,with sorrow for the Medical Student Gang-Rape, killing and passing.
India charges six suspects with murder after victim of horrific gang rape dies |
"They have been charged (with murder)," said Rajan Bhagat, a spokesman for New Delhi police.
The woman, who was gang-raped on a New Delhi bus on December 16, died in a hospital in Singapore. The attack has sparked protests and a national debate about violence against women.
The suspects in the rape -- five men aged between 20 and 40, and a juvenile -- were arrested within hours of the attack. Many Indians have called for the death penalty for those responsible.
The attack has sparked an intense national debate for the first time about the treatment of women and attitudes toward sex crimes in a country where most rapes go unreported, many offenders go unpunished and the wheels of justice turn slowly, according to social activists.
"We are very sad to report that the patient passed away peacefully at 4:45 a.m. on Dec 29, 2012 (3:45 p.m. ET Friday). Her family and officials from the High Commission (embassy) of India were by her side," Mount Elizabeth Hospital Chief Executive Officer Kelvin Loh said in a statement.
