23 years old Preeti Rathi, who was attacked, had
just arrived from Delhi to join the Indian navy as a nurse.
according to BBC NEWS, Her neighbour, Ankur Panwar, had said he attacked
her because she had rejected his proposal to marry him.
Panwar, 25, was convicted of murder and other
offences on Tuesday.
On Thursday, the court said that the crime fell
within the "rarest of rare" category which justified the death
penalty.
Ms Rathi, who suffered severe injuries to her
lungs and eyes in the attack on 2 May 2013, died a month later.
A month after her death, India's Supreme Court
ordered federal and state governments to regulate the
