New Delhi (NVI): Hours after the Supreme Court dismissed curative pleas of two of the four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case, one of the accused – Mukesh Singh- has written to President Ram Nath Kovind, seeking mercy.
According to the law, the President has the power to commute death sentence to life imprisonment.
Mukesh Singh and the three other convicts including Vinay Sharma, Akshay Kumar and Pawan Gupta- are scheduled to be hanged on January 22 at 7 am in Tihar Jail.
Nirbhaya, a 23-year-old girl, was brutally raped and murdered on the night of December 16, 2012, in a south Delhi area.
