Actresses hail SC's verdict on Delhi gang rape case

Bollywood actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, and Bhumi Pednekar hailed the Supreme Court's verdict to uphold the death sentence to four convicts who gang-raped and murdered a young Delhi professional in 2012.

The Apex Court on Monday rejected review petitions filed by three of the four convicts, saying it lacked grounds for a review.

Convicts Mukesh, 29, Pawan Gupta, 22, and Vinay Sharma, 23, had sought a recall of the Supreme Court's May 5, 2017 verdict upholding the death sentence awarded by a trial court and confirmed by the Delhi High Court. The fourth, Akshay Kumar Singh, 31, had not filed for a review.

Here's what the celebrities have tweeted:

Priyanka Chopra: Justice delayed but not denied... the Supreme Court of India sends out a strong signal to perpetrators of these heinous crimes. Now, justice for the rest, so that we have no more Nirbhayas. Nirbhaya verdict.
