The President of India Ramnath Koving has rejected the mercy plea of one of the four convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape murder case. Vinay had filed a mercy petition before President Ram Nath Kovind on January 29. The convict's curative petition was rejected by the Supreme Court earlier. A Delhi court yesterday stayed the hanging of the four convicts. The victim's mother had demanded for the hanging at the earliest.
