The four convicts of the Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case will be hanged on 3rd March at 6 am in the morning. The Patiala House Court on Monday issued a new death warrant. During the trial, the convicted Mukesh told the court that he did not want the judge-appointed judge Vrinda Grover to plead his case. After this, the court appointed advocate Ravi Kazi to plead his case on the demand of convicted Mukesh.  

At the same time, the Tihar Jail Administration filed a status report in this case in the court and told that Vinay Sharma, convicted for the death penalty, is on hunger strike. The court directed the jail superintendent on Vinay Sharma's hunger strike to take care of him as per law. The case pertains to the gang-rape and brutalising of a 23-year-old paramedical student in a moving bus on the night of December 16, 2012, by six people including a juvenile in Delhi. She died at a Singapore hospital a few days later.One of the five adults accused, Ram Singh, had allegedly committed suicide in the Tihar Jail during the trial of the case.
