Five men have been formally charged in an Indian court with the gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student on a moving bus in New Delhi. The attack last month sparked a nationwide outcry with calls for harsher punishments against rapists and an end to violence against women. The outrage deepened after the victim — who has still not been named publicly — died from wounds she suffered in the hours-long assault. Police said they plan to push for the death penalty. A sixth suspect is believed to be under 18 and will likely face charges in juvenile court.
