New Delhi: In a significant development, a Delhi court today issued a fresh death warrant to all four convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case.
They are to be hanged at 5.30 am on March 20, 2020.
The development comes after President Ram Nath Kovind had rejected the mercy petition of Pawan Gupta — one of the convicts in the Nirbhaya case.
Earlier on Wednesday, a plea was moved in a Delhi court, seeking fresh death warrant for the execution of the four convicts. All the convicts have exhausted all the legal remedies.
The President has rejected the mercy petition of all the convicts in the case.
