A Delhi court is likely to pronounce the quantum of sentence today, against the four convicts in the Delhi gangrape case after hearing the arguments. The fast-track court judge convicted the four yesterday, by relying on the victim's dying declaration and forensic evidence. The court held them guilty of 13 offences, including gangrape, unnatural offence, murder, dacoity, conspiracy, kidnapping and destruction of evidence. The convicts could face a maximum penalty of death.

The woman was raped and beaten in a moving bus on December 16 last year. She died 13 days later. The police had charged six persons in the incident. The case against one of the main accused, Ram Singh, was dropped following his death in Tihar Jail during the trial earlier this year. The sixth accused, who was a juvenile, was held guilty by the Juvenile Justice Board on August 31, and sent to a remand home for three years.
