All the four death- row convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case were shifted to Tihar prison complex’s jail number three where their hanging is set to take place, a jail official said.  The four death row convicts -- Vinay Sharma, Akshay Kumar Singh, Mukesh Kumar Singh and Pawan Gupta -- were scheduled to be hanged on January 22. However, the Delhi government told the High Court on Wednesday their execution has to be postponed in view of the pendency of a mercy petition by one of them.
