All the four accused of Nirbhaya Pawan Gupta, Akshay Kumar Singh, Vinay Sharma, and Mukesh Kumar Singh have exhausted all the legal remedies. This is the third time when the death warrant was issued against them by the Patiala House Courts. Earlier two times their hanging was deferred due to legal reasons. This time it seems that execution will be done as no legal remedies are left. 

"We hope that it is the last time and the accused will be hanged. Justice will be served. On 20th the soul of my daughter will get peace," said Asha Devi the mother of Nirbhaya.
