The crime had taken place at Kolkata's posh Park Street, when 37-year-old Jordan was picked up in a car in front of a night club on 5 February, 2012, and gangraped before being thrown off near a road crossing.
The case had caused a public outcry when West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had tried to play down its severity by calling it 'staged' and 'designed to malign her government', reported India Today.
Jordan died on 13 March 2015 of multi-organ failure in Kolkata. She had appeared in public several times and said she had no inhibition in publishing her name.
