Beant Singh assassination case: SC asks Centre to file affidavit on Rajoana's plea
The Supreme Court has given the Centre two weeks to respond to Balwant Singh Rajoana's plea. Rajoana, convicted in the assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, seeks to commute his death sentence. His mercy petition, filed in 2012, remains undecided. Rajoana has spent over 29 years in jail, with more than 15 years on death row.
