President Rejects Nirbhaya Convict's Mercy Plea | Read
President Ram Nath Kovind today rejected a mercy plea filed by Mukesh Singh - one of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya case - mere hours after it was forwarded to him by the Union Home Ministry. The petition, which represented Mukesh Singh's final appeal before his execution, was filed Tuesday after the Supreme Court dismissed curative petitions - the last legal appeal - filed by him and Vinay Sharma, another convict.
