While the second date of hanging is just a week’s away, all the four convicts in Nirbhaya gang-rape case have refused to transfer their assets and prepare a will for their family members. They are hoping that the date of hanging would be deferred further from February 1, said jail officials.
On January 22, the death warrant could not be executed as some of the accused used their remaining legal options. Pawan, Vinay and Akshay, however, still have the option to seek mercy from the President before February 1.
Jail sources told TOI that even though the four men have been placed in solitary cells, they are being allowed to meet their family members twice a week as per the norms. The convicts have not even informed the jail authorities about the date of their last meeting with their family members.
The officials have calculated the amount of wage that each of them has earned from the work done during his stay at the jail. The wages would be handed over to their respective family members after they prepare a will and agree to it.
Sources said that ever since the notice to prepare the will and mention the date of their last meeting was issued to the convicts, Vinay had started behaving aggressively with the jail staffers, while Pawan and Akshay’s behaviour were normal. Mukesh is anxious that he has exhausted all his legal options.
Meanwhile, special care is being taken to maintain the health parameters of the four convicts. Vinay had recently fell unconscious inside his cell. He has been behaving restlessly ever since his curative petition was dismissed by the court. He had even refused to eat food served at his cell and grew aggressive with the jail staffers when they tried to convince him to have food. He was immediately taken to the jail hospital where he recuperated.
Jail officers, however, rubbished the rumour about a suicide attempt by Vinay, that was doing the rounds on social media.
