But, today after three years of the infamous incident that shocked the entire world, the victim's mother Asha Devi, in a display of extraordinary courage, took her daughter's name in public.
"My daughter's name was Jyoti Singh and I am not ashamed to name her. Those who commit heinous crimes like rape, their heads should hang in shame, not the victims or their families. You should take her name too," she said at 'Nirbhaya Chetna Diwas' here, a public event organized by women's and citizens groups at the Jantar Mantar to mark the date.
The parents of the girl, Asha Devi and Badri Singh Pandey also demanded that juvenile convict, allegedly the most brutal" of the six offenders, and scheduled to be released on December 20, should not be released, citing he was a threat to the city.
