Prez rejects mercy plea of 2 death-row convicts
President Pranab Mukherjee has rejected the mercy plea of two death-row convicts, Mofil Khan and Mobarak Khan, who killed eight members of a family including a physically disabled youth in Jharkhand in 2007, officials said on Thursday. A local court had awarded death sentence to the duo, which was later upheld by both the Jharkhand High Court and Supreme Court.
