The street view
“Tit for tat. This is what was expected and capital punishment is the only way out for such heinous crime”
Vijay, 30, tea stall worker
“I welcome the judgment in Delhi gang rape case. This will serve as a deterrent for such offenses.”
Rajesh Chauhan, 50, Dhaba owner
“I am very happy with the judgment”
“I am happy with the sentencing, but best would be to treat them the way they did with [the victim] that night”
Rahul Mukesh Kumar, 30, sweeper
“Justice delivered and hats off to Delhi Police’s swift action and hope Haryana Police learn from this as women in my village are also prone to such crimes”
Pradeep Nain, 22, student from Jind
“The public would have axed the convicts if not the judge. But to control such heinous acts, the government should not only increase policing but also legalise prostitution and educate the society to respect women.”
Pradeep Kapoor, 48, property consultant
“I am satisfied with the judgment which set an example for this being rarest of rare crime. But personally I wish the culprits to be stoned and executed as per the Islamic law of shariyat, so that others feel the fear and think before committing such acts.”
Mohammad Azad, 34, Saudi-returned executive
“I would be more than happy if the judiciary gave at least a life-term to the juvenile.”
Dinesh Chand, 35, Security Guard at Sulabh
“The sentencing was proper and just, but should not have taken nine months.”
“Capital punishment was the only option for such a heinous crime.”
Sunil Yadav, 35, Juice Vendor
“The judiciary sentenced them right as there is no smaller punishment for such a crime”
Amol Chaudhary, 34 daily wage labourer
“The culprits were ought to be punished. I am not in favour of capital punishment as hanging is a procedure introduced by the British. I prefer life term for all the culprits”
