How a hanging takes place at an Indian jail

India Today  

Four men convicted of the brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old medical student in 2012 were hanged at 5:30 am on Friday morning as per the most recent death 'black' warrant issued in their name. Akshay Thakur, Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, and Pawan Gupta have been on death row since 2013 when a fast track court sentenced them to death, holding that their actions amounted to an exceptionally brutal crime. According to the Delhi Jail Manual, death row convicts are to be kept in a special enclosure attached to or within the walls of the prison. Officials in-charge of the convicts are also required to proceed to the cells immediately upon hearing the alarm in order to prevent the prisoner on death row from using violent means to delay the execution.
