It's Maganlal Barela, hailing from the Sehora district of Madhya Pradesh, who has achieved this strange feat. Or has Chitragupta, Lord Yama's faithful understudy, made an error?
Maganlal was scheduled to be hanged till death in the early hours of this morning. He'd been found guilty of having brutally beheaded his five daughters and was awarded the death penalty. He'd requested for mercy from the President of India to save him from the gallows but the petition had been rejected.
Activists of the People's Union for democratic Rights had visited the residence of the Chief Justice of India on Wednesday night who'd passed an interim stay on the execution. It was during the resumed hearing that the court was apprised of the fact that Barela had not been told about the rejection of his mercy petition by the President of India.
Consequently, the execution has been delayed by a day!
Wonder whether the news would cheer Maganlal Barela in any way whatsoever!
Tailpiece.
Just goes to prove the age old saying, "Death is inevitable and it comes at the appointed hour without any fuss".
