One of the six men accused of brutally gang-raping a young woman and assaulting her male friend in New Delhi stunned the court on Wednesday with a startling confession.
"I admit to my crime. Hang me," said Vijay Sharma, a 20-year-old gym instructor, according to NDTV.
Another of the accused, a 19-year-old fruit seller, also admitted that he was guilty.
"I am ashamed. I have committed…a big crime," said Pawan Gupta.
Sharma and Gupta, along with four other men, stand accused of gang-raping a 23-year-old student on a bus before "savagely" beating her and a male companion. The merciless rape reportedly lasted for many hours. The AP writes:
Police said six men raped the woman and savagely beat her and her companion with iron rods on a bus driving around the city -- passing through several police checkpoints -- before stripping them and dumping them on the side of the road Sunday night.
Delhi police chief Neeraj Kumar said four men have been arrested and a search was underway for the other two.
The young woman, reportedly a paramedical student, is said to be in a hospital in critical condition. According to the Hindustan Times, she underwent a fifth surgery on Wednesday, during which portions of her intestine were removed. Doctors say the woman "has lost most of her intestine."
