Nirbhaya's parents say their daughter is denied justice

EXCLUSIVE: Parents of 'Nirbhaya' have described the Supreme Court's decision to re-examine the death penalty awarded to the four convicts in the sensational 2012 rape and murder case as 'travesty of justice' and the amicus curiae as 'friends of the convicts'.
