December 16 gang rape convicts in Tihar Jail on suicide watch

Hindustan Times  

The most guarded men in India’s largest prison, which houses over 18,000 inmates, are not Mumbai underworld gangster Chhota Rajan, Delhi’s biggest don Neeraj Bawana, or Bihar’s strongman turned politician Mohammad Shahabuddin; they are the four convicts of the December 16 gang rape and murder case, who are due to be hanged on February 1 according to the latest court directive. Prison officials said on condition of anonymity that Mukesh Singh, Pawan Kumar Gupta, Akshay Thakur and Vinay Sharma, who were moved on January 16 to Tihar’s Jail No 3, where the death sentence will be carried out, are on “suicide watch” the likes of which Tihar has never seen before. In their case, even if they do this, the guards can open the cell’s lock within seconds and stop them,” said a senior prison officer, who asked not to be named. Prison expert Sunil Gupta, who was Tihar’s law officer for over three decades until his retirement in 2015, said that prisoners on death row are extremely vulnerable.
