Shabnam hanging case: Ayodhya mahant says hanging will bring difficulties

- The President should use the extraordinary powers he has acquired to pardon: Paramahansa Das

New delhi date. Monday, February 22, 2021

Mahant Paramahansa Das of the ascetic camp in Ayodhya has requested President Ramnath Kovind to commute Shabnam's death sentence. If Shabnam is hanged, it will be the first case of a woman being hanged since independence. According to Mahant Paramahansa Das, "The status of women in Hindu scriptures is much higher than that of men. The death penalty for a woman will not benefit society, but it will invite misfortune and calamity. It is true that her guilt does not deserve forgiveness but she should be forgiven for being a woman." "

The unfortunate thing to hang the woman

"As a guru of Hinduism, I urge the President to accept Shabnam's mercy petition. She has already done penance for her crime in jail. If she is hanged, it will be considered the most unfortunate chapter in history. Gives powers, he should use these powers to forgive. "

Killed 7 family members

Shabnam and her boyfriend Salim, who killed seven members of their family along with their boyfriend on the night of April 14-15, 2008, will be hanged in Babankhedi village in UP's Amroha district. Shabnam has been lodged in Rampur Jail since July 2019.
