Nirbhaya Case: Patiala House Court seeks report on execution

A day after the Delhi government said none of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya case could be hanged on the scheduled date of January 22 as one of them has moved a mercy plea, a Delhi court on Thursday directed Tihar jail authorities to submit a report about the status of the scheduled execution. Amid the uncertainty over the date of execution of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case, all the four criminals facing death-row have been shifted to Tihar prison complex's jail number 3 where their hanging would take place. The convicts, however, are in different cells even in the same jail, and not together.
