“Would Like To See Convicts Die”: Nirbhaya’s Mother

“The morning of March 20 will be the morning of our lives,” said Nirbhaya’s mother Asha Devi after a Delhi court Thursday fixed the new date of execution of the four death row convicts for her daughter’s gang rape and murder in December 2012.

Asha Devi said the struggle would continue till the time they are hanged and hoped that March 20 will be the final date of hanging.

She also said that if there is any chance, she would want to see the convicts dying.

“While dying, Nirbhaya asked to ensure they get such punishment that such crime is not repeated ever. If there is any chance, I would like to see them die,” said  Devi.

A Delhi court on Thursday issued fresh death warrants for the execution of the four convicts in the case for March 20 at 5.30 am.

Their hanging was deferred thrice earlier as the convicts had not exhausted all legal remedies.
