Meet the men who came to rescue bleeding Nirbhaya on the fateful December night

It was Rajkumar Singh who, along with his two colleagues, came first to the rescue of bleeding and ailing Nirbhaya and her friend during a cold December night in Delhi. Rajkumar, Jeet and Badri arranged a white bedsheet to cover the duo before offering Nirbhaya-who was brutally gangraped by six men-his jacket.

After the 'rarest of the rare' gang-rape and murder in the city, Delhi was termed as the rape Capital and on Friday, former Delhi Police commissioner Neeraj Kumar, who led a team that probed the 2012 Delhi gang-rape, said his forces solved the case within 72 hours, despite the lack of initial leads. He said, "I am extremely delighted and I feel proud of the fact that our investigation has been vindicated."

The former deputy commissioner of Police (south district), Chhaya Sharma had set up teams, immediately after the incident, with her best officers to probe the case. On Friday, she said, Thanks to our team work. Finding that bus was the biggest challenge. The victims had only described the bus as, 'White colour, red seat cover and yellow curtains'."

Former head of the Special Investigation Team, Rajender Singh played a major role in collecting crucial evidences. He said, "The toughest job was to covert the brutality of the incident into evidence, so that even the court has to consider it as the rarest of the rare case."
