It is a win for all the 'Nirbhayas' living in this country. I salute Nirbhaya's parents who fought for 7 long years. Why has it taken 7yrs to punish these people? Why can't this time period be reduced?" Meanwhile, Congress' Sushmita Dev stated that "Nirbhaya has got justice. In open and shut case like Nirbhaya's if it can take 7years, then, what happens in other cases where evidence is not clear? It calls for introspection for political class and legal community to see where are problems and why should it take so long." However, Nirbhaya convicts' lawyer AP Singh told media that "We will file curative petition in SC within a day or two. 5 senior most judges of SC will hear it. There has been pressure of media, public and political pressure in this case since beginning. Unbiased probe could not take place in this case." -PTC News
