Earlier in the day, the supreme court has rejected the curative petition filed by Pavan Gupta, one of the convicts in the Nirbhaya case.

With this all the four convicts have exhausted their legal remedies. Gupta was the last of the four killers to file a curative plea in the Supreme Court.

"They have wasted the court's time and tried to subvert system. Now they will be hanged tomorrow," said Nirbhaya's mother.

On December 16, 2012, a 23-year-old physiotherapy intern, who later came to be known as 'Nirbhaya' (fearless), was gang raped and savagely assaulted in a moving bus in South Delhi. She died after a fortnight.
