Priyanka Chopra shares an emotional note on the Nirbhaya rape case verdict

Yesterday, Supreme Court pronounced its verdict on the 2012 Delhi gang rape case. Justice prevailed as out of the six rapists, four, who were in jail, are to be hanged till death. Post the verdict, many B-Town celebs like Rishi Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Raveena Tandon and others took to their Twitter handle to express their happiness on this historic verdict. Later, actress Priyanka Chopra also took to her Twitter to hail the decision of Supreme Court.

But, unlike others, the actress has taken to her Twitter handle sharing an emotional note to express her point of view.

Talking about the letter, she has written, “Yes, it has taken five long years, but today justice finally prevailed. The flame of this verdict should singe not just the dastardly four (of the other two, one is dead and one accused is a juvenile) but such perpetrators in India as well.” [sic] (Also Read: Deepika Padukone reacts on being mistakenly addressed as Priyanka Chopra in the West)

“I’m so Proud of the justice system for hearing her voice.. in her dying declaration she appealed that her perpetrators not be spared. Justice – that was what the entire country demanded five years ago and never let the nation forget. Each voice that joined the battle was strident and clear – the six must be punished. Finally, they will pay. The brutality of such crimes is something I refuse to accept!! Unfortunately, the past can never be undone. So, we move on and make a promise to ourselves. That when an entire country is unified in wanting something, action is taken. This awakening, this unified voice to stop such brutal and demoniacal crimes, as our supreme court said, is what we must never let go onto mute mode,” she wrote further and concluded writing, “You will never be forgotten, Nirbhaya.” [sic]
