    Nirbhaya convict's lawyer gets Bar Council notice over 'forged' documents

    The Bar Council of Delhi on Saturday issued a notice to the lawyer appearing for a convict in the 2012 Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case. Advocate AP Singh was given a notice for filing "forged" documents and not appearing in court. Singh is representing convict Pawan Kumar Gupta (25), who claims that he was a juvenile at the time of committing the crime.

    What is the Nirbhaya rape case?

    The four convicts, and two others, raped a 23-year-old student (dubbed "Nirbhaya") on a moving bus on December 16, 2012. The convicts penetrated her with iron rods, inflicting grave injuries, and the victim died two weeks later during treatment. The fifth accused, Ram Singh, allegedly committed suicide in prison in 2013. The sixth accused—a juvenile—was sent to a reformation home and was later released.

    Previously, convicts were to be hanged on January 22

    The four were sentenced to death by a Delhi court in 2013. However, the execution has since been delayed due to review, curative and mercy petitions. Previously, a death warrant scheduled their hanging for January 22. Convict Mukesh then appealed President Ram Nath Kovind for mercy. Although the President denied the plea, the hanging had to be postponed due to a 14-day reprieval period.
