Convicts in Nirbhaya case to be hanged soon: Law Minister

Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday assured Lok Sabha that convicts in the Nirbhaya gang-rape case will be hanged soon.

The culprits are trying to delay punishment which is not justified, he said.

Several members especially women MPs across party lines raised the issue of attack on women in various parts of the country.

Expressing deep anguish over such incidents, Prasad said, "I have deep concern in this regard."
