A 23‑year‑old physiotherapy student was brutally assaulted and killed on a Delhi bus in December 2012, sparking nationwide outrage. The case, dubbed “Nirbhaya,” led to swift police action, a high‑profile trial, death sentences, and eventual executions. It triggered sweeping legal reforms—including stricter rape laws, fast‑track courts, and one‑stop crisis centers—and ignited a lasting public debate on gender violence, policing, and cultural change in India.
