INDIA MOST CONVICTED DRUG DEALERS, SERIAL KILLER AND A RAPIST/MURDER, ACCORDING TO A 1983COURT RULING RHEY WERE ALL EXECUTED BY HANGING


India most convicted drug dealers, serial killer and a rapist/murderer, According to a 1983 court ruling they were all executed by hanging

As recently as March, 2012, it seemed like the death penalty might be a thing of the past in India.
The country is one of just a handful of large democracies in the world — along with the United States, Taiwan, and Japan — that still use capital punishment.

(It’s still legal in South Korea but no executions have been carried out since the late 1990s.)

According to a 1983 court ruling, execution can only be used in the "rarest of rare cases". Between 1995 and last year, India executed just two people — a serial killer and a rapist/murderer.
Last March, a court put on hold the execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana, a Sikh militant convicted for the 1995 assassination of the Punjab State Minister.

Then, last November, the lone surviving Mumbai attack gunman, Amjal Kasab was executed swiftly and in secret, without any warning given to his family or attorney, a surprise to many in a country where the gears of justice usually turn pretty slowly.
Amnesty International criticized the move, saying it "undoes much of the progress India has made over the death penalty."
