Today, On 27th September, Jagtar Singh Hawara, convicted in the assassination of Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, has petitioned the Supreme Court to transfer him from Tihar Jail to a Punjab prison for personal reasons. His request, currently under consideration, raises issues about prison conditions and inmate rights, highlighting his clean record since 2005.
The Bombay High Court granted bail to Sukesh Chandrasekhar for a 2015 cheating case, but he remains in Tihar Jail due to other pending cases. Justice Manish Pitale cited his seven-year wait for trial. Chandrasekhar allegedly defrauded Rs 19 crore through a fraudulent investment scheme. Despite controversy, his legal team secured bail, marking a critical juncture in the legal battle.
