Five Indian men, accused of gang raping a twenty-three year old student, were formally charged with murder, on Thursday.

They are also being charged with gang rape and criminal conspiracy.

A sixth person is accused of involvement in the attack, but is under eighteen, and so will be tried separately and in juvenile court.

Her father has led calls for the men to be hung, for their crimes.

Since the attack, India has seen mass protests, throughout the country, with thousands protesting in the major cities.

Indians are protesting what they see as a lack of protection for women, by the government.
