New Delhi (CNN) Four men have been issued with death warrants for the brutal gang rape of a 23-year-old physiotherapy student in New Delhi more than seven years ago. The men were on Tuesday ordered to hang later this month for gang-raping the woman on a bus in 2012. She died two weeks later as a result of her injuries. The hanging is scheduled for 7 a.m. on January 22 at Tihar Jail in India's capital, the court announced via video conference. There is currently no application pending before the court or country's president -- who has the power to pardon the men in a final mercy petition -- the prosecution said during the hearing.
