"I pledge to work to strengthen the laws and ensure that such an incident never gets repeated again," he said.

The girl, who was gang-raped and brutally assaulted by six men in a moving bus in south Delhi, died in a Singapore hospital early this morning after battling for life for the past 13 days.
