Mukesh, one of the four accused in the Nirbhaya case, had been trying to avoid hanging for a long time. But his ultimate way of escape has ended. Let us tell you that in the latest development, Mukesh Singh's mercy petition has been rejected by President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday on the recommendation of the Union Home Ministry. In such a situation, the last way to avoid being hanged with Mukesh Singh is also closed and Mukesh is certain to be hanged.
According to the media report, along with sending Mukesh's mercy petition to the President, the recommendation of the Union Home Ministry was also rejected. Following this, this petition has been dismissed on behalf of the President. Earlier, while appealing to the Delhi government to dismiss the petition, it was sent to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal.
For your information, let us tell you that in the past, the guilty Mukesh Singh had given mercy petition to Tihar Jail Administration. The petition came to the President through the Tihar administration, to the Delhi government, then to the Lt. Governor and then to the President via the Union Home Ministry. Let us state here that a convict who is hanged can file a mercy petition to the President to get mercy. At the same time, the President has the right under Article 72 of the Constitution that he can waive the death sentence.
