Muskan to appeal death sentence in Saurabh Rajput murder case
Muskan, convicted and sentenced to death in the Saurabh Rajput murder case, will appeal the verdict. Jail authorities have written to the State Legal Services Authority to arrange a government lawyer for her. Aaj Tak reports that she expressed her intention to challenge the court's decision from prison, while TV9 Hindi says the appeal process has begun with the arrangement of a government lawyer.
Senior jail superintendent Viresh Raj Sharma stated that Muskan has not yet written to her family. Meanwhile, in a separate case, Ravita and her lover Amardeep, also sentenced to death for killing her husband, have been distressed since the verdict, Aaj Tak adds. Ravita has been assigned bag-sewing work in jail, while Amardeep's work is pending.
