Justice Has Been Served: Bollywood Reacts To The Hanging Of Nirbhaya’s Rape And Murder Convicts

The four convicts, who had raped and murdered a physiotherapy intern in 2012, who later came to be known as Nirbhaya, were hanged till death at Delhi’s Tihar Jail at 5.30 am, this morning.

Though it took seven years for the judiciary to hang them, citizens across the nation rejoiced as justice finally got served. Many Bollywood celebrities lauded the court’s decision and also called for stricter law enforcement.
Here’s what our celebrities had to say:

Nirbhaya Justice. “Jaisi karni waisi bharni” Let this set an example not only in India but world over. Punishment for rape is by death. You have to respect womanhood. Shame on the people who delayed the execution. Jai Hind! pic.twitter.com/ENyjTxwlMI

If #Nirbhaya rapists were hung in 2012 the judicial system would have stopped so much crime against women. Fear of the law would have kept the lawless in check. Prevention is always better than cure. It’s time the Indian govt. takes steps for judicial reforms. #RIPNirbhaya🙏
