After watching 'Life of Pi', the 23-year-old girl and her friend walk out of a movie theatre in South Delhi. They look for transport.
They find an auto, but only for part of the distance. Running out of options, the duo board a private bus at Munirka, South Delhi.
The bus has several men in it. Mistaking them all to be passengers, the two take their seats.
Nirbhaya's friend, Awindra Pandey, gets suspicious when the men on the bus shut the door. He gets into a scuffle with them when they taunt the duo for being together at night.
Soon he is overpowered and the six men turn to Nirbhaya. They brutally rape her repeatedly. Their ferocity is such that she is grievously wounded and disemboweled.
When the men are done raping and ripping out her internal organs, they throw her out. They are left bleeding profusely on the road, with no clothes on, on a December night.
The police identify four of the six accused in the case – Ram Singh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma, and Mukesh Singh — within 24 hours.
Within two days of the incident, the four men are arrested by the Delhi police.
Nirbhaya's friend, Awindra Pandey, gives his testimony to the police – revealing hitherto unknown details for the first time.
By now, the the fifth accused — the then 17-year-old — is identified and arrested at the Anand Vihar bus terminus in Delhi.
