Some people carried posters thanking the judiciary.

Social activist Yogita Bhayana, who held a poster which read 'Nirbhaya has got justice. The other daughters still await', said it was a victory of the legal system that the convicts are being hanged.

"Justice has been delivered finally," she said.

Akash Deep, who has been associated with the victim's family, said he was there to witness the victory of a long fought legal battle.

"It was a tough fight. However, the justice won today," he said.
