There have been calls for the introduction of the death penalty for rapists and molesters because of the 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder case and other crimes. In the 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder case, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student was gang raped and tortured on a moving bus in Delhi. She died of her injuries two weeks later. The incident sparked protests across India and led to the introduction of tougher laws against sexual violence.
