“You want your sentence to be changed to hanging” – the Supreme Court asked Today (Sept 11) as Swamy Shraddananda, who is incarcerated for 30 years for killing his wife and has pleaded for release, said that the imprisonment till death awarded to him is far worse than the capital punishment. His wife was the grand-daughter of a former Dewan of the princely state of Mysore, sought the relief, saying he has been in “continuous incarceration” without any parole or remission and nothing adverse has been reported against him during his stay in jail.
