The official said it was a sleepless night for Guru who was told to get ready at around 5 AM. He was offered tea but he did not have it. He offered Namaz immediately after getting up and was taken to the gallows at 7:30 AM.
Sources said Guru was hanged for 15 minutes. He had sought a copy of Quran last evening after he was told about the impending execution.
Director General of Prisons Vimla Mehra said Guru appeared "remorseless" in his final hours. A doctor carried out a health check up of Guru before he was taken to gallows. Mehra said normal procedure was followed in the hanging.
Sources said though he was offered dal, sabji and roti in dinner last evening, he did not have it.
