"The kind of victories we need," another user said on the microblogging site while tweeting Asha Devi's picture with a victory sign.
"Finally.... Always faith in judiciary Victory hand justice delayed but not denied."
In December 2012, a 23-year-old woman, who came to be known as 'Nirbhaya' and 'Damini' (fearless), was gang-raped and brutally assaulted in a moving bus in south Delhi.
In later days, her situation continued to deteriorate and on December 29, she succumbed to injuries in a Singapore hospital.
A total of six people -- Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, Akshay Kumar Singh, Pawan Gupta, Ram Singh and a juvenile -- were convicted in the gang rape and murder of the paramedic student.
The incident had sparked massive protests across the country mostly led by students.
