393: Will The Nirbhaya Rape Convicts Finally Be Hanged on 20 March?
For the fourth time on Thursday, 5 March, Delhi's Patiala House Court issued a fresh death warrant for the four convicts in the Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case.
As it stands now, the convicts will be executed on 20 march, at 5:30 am.
Remember, this is the fourth time....they were earlier slated for execution on three different dates- 22 jan, 1 feb and 3 march...and each time, their execution was deferred, or put on hold...but now the four convicts have exhausted all their legal remedies including a plea for mercy from the president.
Will the four convicts finally hang? Or will they escape the gallows again?
