In 2012 a 23-year old female was brutally gang-raped by six other passengers riding in a private bus in Delhi. Although she managed to survive the initial assault, she eventually succumbed to her injuries thirteen days later.

Often regarded as India’s Arab Spring, the “Nirbhaya case” was marked by unprecedented public outrage on the ground and on social media, and an immediate backlash against the government.
