The four men who raped and killed a young Indian woman on a moving bus will learn if they face execution on Friday.
A judge in New Delhi had been due to sentence them on Wednesday, but postponed the hearing.
The prosecutor called for all four to be hanged after they were convicted in the December gang rape of the 23-year-old woman a crime that unleashed a wave of public anger over the treatment of Indian women and a long-unspoken epidemic of sexual violence.
The victim died two weeks after the attack. The four face either life or death by hanging.
Calls for the men to be executed have grown increasingly loud, with everyone from the victim’s parents to top political leaders demanding the death sentence.
