This information might have surprised you as one of the most inhumane convicts in Indian history was raped inside the most prestigious Tihar Jail. Remember that he was convicted in a rape and murder case.
Yes, Nirbhaya case convict Mukesh Singh was sexually abused in the Tihar Jail, his lawyers told in the Supreme Court on 28 January during a hearing seeking judicial review of the rejection of mercy petition by the president.
“Courts only sentenced me to death. Was I sentenced to be raped?” the senior lawyer asked the court on his behalf. More ever, in a cinematic way, this lawyer also said that the officers in jail co-operated to the Akshay Singh, who allegedly raped Mukesh Singh.
The trial court has issued a death warrant for the four convicts Mukesh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Kumar Sharma, and Akshay Kumar at 6 am on February 1. The convicts made several attempts to escape. Now, many doubt this as a gamble played to get saved from the death warrant issued.
Let’s see whether the four culprits will be hanged on February 1st or not.
