Nirbhaya case convict Mukesh Singh alleges rape in jail
In a sensational claim, the lawyers of Mukesh Singh (32), who is facing death sentence in the Nirbhaya case, told the Supreme Court on Tuesday that he had a "living death" experience in Tihar Jail, where he was even "sexually abused." Also, his co-accused in the Nirbhaya case was murdered and did not commit suicide in the jail. Four days ahead of the scheduled execution of death penalty, by hanging at the crack of dawn on February 1, the Supreme Court reserved its ruling on Mukesh Singh’s plea against rejection of his mercy plea by the President. Senior advocate Anjana Prakash told the court that Mukesh was tortured and put in solitary confinement in Tihar Jail, even before rejection of his mercy plea and this was unconstitutional.
