Nirbhaya Case: Delhi Govt recommends rejection of mercy plea of one of the convicts

Delhi Government has strongly recommended rejection of the petition of one of the convicts in Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case, who had applied for mercy petition. Delhi Home Minister Satyendar Jain has sent the file to Lt Governor Anil Baijal with Arvind Kejriwal government's recommendations in the case. “This is the most heinous crime of extreme brutality committed by the appellant. This is the case where exemplary punishment should be given to deter others from committing such atrocious crimes,” he noted.
