Vinay Sharma, one of the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder convict has filed a mercy petition before President of India on Wednesday for the commutation of his capital punishment to a life sentence.

Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court has been told that "hanging of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya rape and murder case can't take place on January 22.
