MHA recommends to President to reject mercy plea
The Union Home Ministry has sent to President Ram Nath Kovind the recommendation of the Delhi government rejecting the mercy plea of one of the convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya rape-murder case, sources said on Friday.
New Delhi : The Union Home Ministry has sent to President Ram Nath Kovind the recommendation of the Delhi government rejecting the mercy plea of one of the convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya rape-murder case, sources said on Friday.
The victim's mother also wrote to Kovind seeking dismissal of the clemency petition. The development comes on a day when the four accused in the rape and murder of a Hyderabad veterinarian were killed in an encounter by the police.
Seeking to draw a parallel between the two cases, Nirbhaya's parents also said unlike them, the family of the deceased veterinary would not have to wait for justice.
Sources said the file of the convict in Nirbhaya's case had been forwarded to the President for consideration and final decision.
