New Delhi: "Delhi is a gas chamber then why hand down the death penalty," said Akshay Kumar Singh, one of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case while moving the Supreme Court seeking review of its 2017 judgement of sentencing all the four convicts to death.

"Everyone is aware of what is happening in Delhi-NCR with regard to water and air. Life is becoming short, then why death penalty," asked Akshay in the review petition filed through advocate A.P. Singh.
