Of the six accused, one had committed suicide by hanging himself inside Tihar Jail while another - the minor - was let off after a three year sentence. The remaining four accused, whose mercy petition has been rejected, are likely to be taken to the gallows soon. Speaking on Nirbhaya, Hyderabad and Unnao gang rape incidents, Tiwari said there should be no mercy for accused in such cases. "The state government is ensuring stern action against people involved in crime against women."
