Tihar Jail Convict

Former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala, 86, was already out on parole, but reached Tihar Prisons on Friday to complete the formalities, following which he was released.

A Telegram channel used to claim responsibility for placing an explosives-laden SUV near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's home in Mumbai, was created from inside a barrack in Delhi's Tihar jail where an Indian Mujahideen terrorist is being kept, police sources have told NDTV.

The Delhi High Court Tuesday directed the jail authorities to give adequate medical treatment for oral cancer to expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar's brother Atul, who was sentenced to 10 years in jail for his role in the custodial killing of the Unnao rape victim's father.

Women rights activists called "unfortunate" the decision to prematurely release Jessica Lal murder case convict Manu Sharma, saying it sets a wrong precedent. He was freed from prison for "satisfactory jail conduct".

All four men convicted of the gang-rape and killing of a young Delhi woman in 2012 will hang tomorrow morning as decided, a Delhi court said today. The Patiala House Court rejected all petitions of the convicts, Akshay Thakur, 31, Pawan Gupta, 25, Vinay Sharma, 26, and Mukesh Singh, 32, who are to hang at 5.30 am on Friday.

The counsel for the four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case moved a court on Wednesday seeking quashing of their death penalty, saying the second mercy plea of one of them is still pending.
