New Delhi: "We have lost our daughter but the convicts must meet their ultimate fate", these were the words of Damini's heartbroken parents after the Delhi High Court upheld the death sentence of the four persons convicted of gangrape and murder.  

"The ultimate satisfaction will be when the convicts meet their ultimate fate", parents of the December 16 gangrape victim said, reacting to the Delhi High Court verdict upholding death penalty to the four men.

The parents of the 23-year-old physiotherapy student, who was raped on a moving bus on a Sunday night in Delhi more than a year ago, were present in the packed court room at the time of pronouncement of the verdict.



Soon after the verdict, they walked out holding each other's hand and said "we are happy, but we would have been more happy if the criminals were awarded more than this."

"The way they had shamed the society, they deserve nothing less than this (hanging). We have got full faith in the judiciary. We had expected this verdict.

But the ultimate satisfaction will be when the convicts meet their ultimate fate," the mother of the victim told reporters outside the court room.
