A Delhi Court has issued a fresh death warrant for all the four convicts in the horrific 2012 Nirbhaya gangrape case.
All the four Nirbhaya convicts will be executed at 5:30 am on March 20.
The four convicts, were awarded death penalty for the gangrape and murder of a 23-year-old medical student in a moving bus in the national capital.
The death warrant was issued just a day after President Ram Nath Kovind rejected the mercy petition of Pawan Gupta, the last of the four death row convicts.
With the President’s rejection, the convicts have exhausted all options for relief from the death sentence.
Meanwhile, mother of Nirbhaya has expressed hope that this is the final date and the rapists of her daughter will hang on March 20.
