NEW DELHI: Four men convicted of the 2012 gang-rape and murder of a New Delhi student will be executed on Friday (Mar 20), the victim's lawyer said, after a court dismissed a final last-minute petition to delay the hangings.

The brutal attack on Jyoti Singh, a 23-year old physiotherapy intern who eventually died from her injuries in a Singapore hospital two weeks after the attack, sparked nationwide demonstrations and shone a spotlight on the alarming rates of sexual violence in India.

Singh's mother Asha Devi welcomed the ruling and said her "daughter's soul will finally rest in peace".

The convicts had filed numerous petitions seeking delays to the executions.
