All the four culprits of the Nirbhaya gang rape in Delhi in December 2012 have been sentenced to death. |
The Supreme Court has accepted the reconsideration petition of Akshay, who is guilty of Nirbhaya. But it is not yet clear when the Supreme Court will hear it. Nirbhaya convicts have also requested for mercy with the President. On dismissing the mercy petition from Rashtrapati Bhavan, the work of hanging Nirbhaya's culprits will start.
The tradition of capital punishment has been in place since the British rule in India. Even today the executioner hangs the prisoner. So far, there has not been any change in it. In the countries of the world, many methods are adopted to give the death penalty. Death penalty is given in some countries by shooting, beheading in some countries and poisonous injection in some countries. Apart from this, prisoners are also punished with electrocution and poisonous gas.
