Nirbhaya Rape Murder case; All convicts to be hanged at 5.30 am on March 20

A Delhi court Thursday issued fresh death warrants for execution of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case for March 20 at 5.30 am. Additional Sessions Judge Dharmendra Rana fixed March 20 as the new date of execution after it was told by the Delhi government that the convicts have exhausted all their legal remedies.

The lawyer for the four death row convicts also told the court that there was no legal impediment for court in proceeding to fix the date of execution. This is the third time court is producing death warrant against Nirbhaya convicts. On December 16 2012 a paramedical student was brutally raped by six men in a running bus in the capital of nation.
