Earlier, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also expressed similar sentiments, ruing that the convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case are finding ways to delay their execution.

Barely 12 hours ahead of the much-anticipated execution of the four convicts, a court here on Friday directed the Tihar Jail authorities not to execute the death warrants issued against the convicts.

The execution was scheduled for Saturday at 6 a.m.

Additional Sessions Judge Dharmendra Rana passed the order, postponing the executions till further order, and leaving many disgruntled.
