    A Delhi court is expected today to order a special “fast-track” trial for five of the accused in a brutal gang rape that triggered days of mass protests in India’s capital last month.

    A sixth suspect, a 17-year-old minor, will be tried by a juvenile court.

    Citing confidentiality laws, the authorities have refused to release the name of the 23-year-old physiotherapy student and international call center worker who was raped and assaulted on a Delhi bus on the evening of December 16, while a male companion was brutally beaten. The young woman succumbed to her injuries December 28, shortly after being transferred to a Singapore hospital for specialized treatment.
