The victim was identified only as Jyoti that meant "Flame" in India and, according to reports, the 23-year-old suffered from "horrific injuries" and died two weeks after the fatal attack.

She was a physiotherapy student and was raped by six men when she travelled on her way home. She just came from the cinema and was with a male friend.

She was flown from India to Singapore after being attacked in a moving bus, in an attempt to save her life, but died after 13 days later inside the hospital.

The incident happened back in December 16, 2012. According to reports, Jyoti was raped with metal bars and suffered from internal injuries.

She and her male friend were thrown out of the bus after the incident.

According to Mukesh Singh, he was the one driving the bus when the incident happened and that he did not take part in the rape. Singh, however, was convicted of the crime and is awaiting execution.

In the latest interview, he shares that the murder of Jyoti was an accident because she was out at night, pointing out that a decent girl should not be roaming around at nine in the evening.

He adds, "A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. Boys and girls are not equal. Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes."

The death of Jyoti brought a wave of protests in India and the international community, as citizens called out on the government to protect women in India.

Jyoti was also given other Indian names such as Amanat, which means treasure, Jagruti for awareness and Nirbhaya for fearless one. 

"When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after doing her and only hit the boy," Singh added.

Five of the men who were convicted of the crime were sentenced to death, although the hearing of the case continues.

Jyoti's male friend, who was not identified, survived the attack with broken limbs. He will testify against the perpetrators of Jyoti.

A documentary from BBC based on the notorious gang rape of Jyoti will be aired on March 8, International Women's Day.

The documentary includes the shocking interview with Singh. Singh adds that the death of Jyoti should teach other women in India a lesson.
