Nirbhaya Rape Case; convicts will be hanged on Feb 1 at 6 am

Nirbhaya Rape Case convicts will be hanged on Feb 1 at 6 am as per the new death warrant issued by Delhi court. The court quashed the earlier death warrant scheduled for January 22. According to the new death warrant, the four convicts — Mukesh, Pawan, Akshay, Vinay — will be hanged on February 1 at 6 am. The judgment comes after the Tihar jail authorities sought the issuance of fresh death warrants against the court convicts in the Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case.

Nirbhaya’s mother Asha Devi expressed disappointment over the issuance of a new date for the execution of her daughter’s convicts. Mukesh Singh, one of the four men on death row in the Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case, on Friday exhausted all his legal options with President Ram Nath Kovind rejecting his mercy plea and the Home Ministry sending it on to the Delhi government, officials said. The 23-year-old paramedic student, referred to as Nirbhaya, was gang raped and brutally assaulted on the intervening night of December 16-17, 2012 inside a moving bus in south Delhi by six persons before being thrown out on the road.

She died on December 29, 2012 at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore. The prime accused, Ram Singh, allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in Tihar jail days after the trial began. The juvenile, who was said to be the most brutal of the attackers, was put in a correctional home for three years. He was released in 2015 and sent to an undisclosed location amid concerns over a threat to his life. The juvenile, when released, was 20 years old.
