    About the 2012 Delhi gang rape case

    About the 2012 Delhi gang rape case
  • A 23-year-old paramedic student was assaulted and brutally gang-raped in a moving bus in Delhi's Munirka on 16 December 2012 by six men, including a juvenile.

    While the victim succumbed to injuries, the incident shook the nation, leading to country-wide protests.

    Of the six rapists, one committed suicide in custody, four were sentenced to death, and the juvenile convict served his three-year sentence.

    IPS Chhaya Sharma says it was a 'blind case'
  • Delhi Police nabbed the guilty only five days after the Nirbhaya incident.

    Even nearly seven years after the crime, Chhaya Sharma, a 1999-batch IPS officer, remembers every detail of the case, according to TBI.

    Calling it a "blind case", Sharma said she received vague details about the incident around 2:00am. Wasting no time, she registered an FIR after collecting information from the Safdarjung Hospital.

  • Speaking about the investigation, Sharma said, "It was like looking for a needle in the haystack... We had only vague details like the color of the bus, seats, and curtains."

    "Based on the male victim's sketchy information, we acquired a list of 370 white buses registered with the RTO. With every team member finding clues, we got closer to solving the case," she added.

  • On Nirbhaya

    'Nirbhaya was the epitome of courage,' says Sharma

  • After beginning the investigation, Sharma said, she was constantly in touch with Nirbhaya and her family.

    On Nirbhaya, Sharma said, "After going through such a traumatic experience, it is not easy for the victim to narrate the incident. But Nirbhaya was the epitome of courage who remained calm and narrated the entire dreadful episode with confidence."

    "We owed it to her," she added.

    Teamwork, the key to success of my team: Sharma

  • "If the job is done right, everything else falls in place. We just did our investigation...," Sharma said. "Teamwork is the key to the success of my team. I believe I am as good as the teams that I lead," she added.

  • Chhaya Sharma said that a lot has changed in terms of the police's working methods after the Nirbhaya case.

    "The approach towards treating a case, especially if it involves molestation, has changed. In the victim-centric approach, priority is given to teamwork, diligence and meticulous paperwork," she said.

    "These are and will always be parameters for good investigation," Sharma added.
