President rejects Nirbhaya convict Mukesh's mercy petition

President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday rejected the mercy petition of 2012 Delhi gang-rape and murder case convict Mukesh Singh, officials said.

President's decision came a day after the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Thursday night sent Mukesh's mercy petition to him recommending its rejection, hours after the plea was received from Delhi Lt Governor Anil Baijal's office for review.
