Delhi gangrape: Lawyers to ‘stay away’ from accused

Lawyers will not defend the six people standing trial for the gangrape and murder of a 23-year-old medical student in Delhi. The 2,500 advocates registered at the Saket district court have reportedly decided to 'stay away' to ensure speedy justice, with the task left to the Government to appoint lawyers for the defendants. The case will be tried in a fast-track court, with hearings expected to begin on Thursday.
