Mathura Jail Preps To Hang India's 1st Woman Prisoner After Freedom

Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura district jail is preparing to hang the country’s first woman prisoner, Shabnam, after independence. Convicted of killing seven family members with her lover, Shabnam's mercy plea was rejected by ex-president Pranab Mukherjee. Reportedly, Pawan Jallad, who earlier hanged the Nirbhaya's killers, had visited the jail to review preparations. While official communication is awaited, the only gallows of UP dedicated to women will hang first women in 150 years of history.
