Nirbhaya convicts finding loopholes to avoid hanging, dire need to amend laws: Arvind Kejriwal

The four death row convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case will not be hanged on Saturday morning as a Delhi court on Friday postponed the execution of their black warrants till further order.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said that he was saddened that convicts in the Nirbhaya case are finding loopholes in the law to avoid their death sentence.

"We are in dire need to amend our laws, so that hanging takes place within 6 months in rape cases," Arvind Kejriwal further said in his tweet.
