NEW DELHI - India executed 4 men on Friday for the gang-rape and murder of a woman on a Delhi bus in 2012 that sparked huge nationwide protests and international revulsion.

The 4 were hanged before dawn at Tihar Jail in the Indian capital, prison chief Sandeep Goel told AFP.The brutal attack on Jyoti Singh sparked weeks of demonstrations and shone a spotlight on the alarming rates of sexual violence and the plight of women in India, where around 95 rapes are reported daily.

Singh, 23, was returning home from the cinema with a male friend on the night of Dec. 16, 2012 when they boarded a Delhi bus, thinking it would take them home. "A decent girl won't roam about at 9 pm," one of the perpetrators later told a BBC documentary that was banned in India. "It was like the bursting of a dam," said Kavita Krishnan, an activist who took part in the huge protests.

Singh, nicknamed "Nirbhaya" , survived long enough to identify her attackers and all 6 were arrested. Four were convicted in 2013.
