Nirbhaya Case: President Dismisses Mercy Plea of Convict Vinay Sharma - (01 Feb 2020)

CRIMINAL

Nirbhaya convict Vinay Sharma's mercy plea has been rejected by President Ram Nath Kovind. Four men - Vinay Sharma, Pawan Gupta, Mukesh Singh and Akshay Singh - convicted in the 2012 gangrape and killing of a 23-year-old paramedical student in Delhi were due to be executed at 6 am today, but late last evening a Delhi court, noting that a decision had not yet been taken on Vinay Sharma's mercy plea, handed them a last-minute reprieve, yet again.
