Neha Sharma: Justice for Nirbhaya won’t be complete till the time the ‘juvenile’ Mohammed Afroz the most brutal one is roaming free. He should be hanged first.
Varun Dhawan: Even hanging the four criminals is not enough justice but it should serve as a reminder that how India deals with this crime.
Ranvir Shorey : It won’t bring Jyoti back, but I’m glad these four are on their way.
