New Delhi/IBNS: One of the four convicts in 2012 Nirbhaya gangrape case on Thursday filed a curative plea before the Supreme Court, media reports said.

All four convicts have been sentenced to death.

The plea has been filed by 26-year old Vinay Sharma who along with three other convicts- Akshay Kumar Pawan Gupta and Mukesh- will be executed at 7 am on Jan 22.

On Dec 16, 2012, Nirbhaya, who was a 23-year female physiotherapy intern, was gang-raped, assaulted and tortured at a private bus in Delhi when she was travelling with her friend.

She was raped by six people including the driver of the bus.

The victim had succumbed to her injuries 13 days after the horrific crime was committed.

The incident had sparked national and international outrage. Both the state and central government were brought under the scanner for not providing adequate protection to women in the national capital.
