German envoy appeals India 'not to implement' death penalty to Bhullar
Chennai, April 18 (ANI): German Ambassador to India, Michael Steiner has appealed to the Indian government 'not to implement' the death penalty and thus reprieve the capital punishment awarded to Devender Singh Bhullar. Bhullar, who was extradited from Germany, is facing the gallows for the 1993 militant attacks on a top police officer and also a political leader, claiming several lives and injuring many others. The Supreme Court on Friday (April 12) rejected the clemency petition of Devinderpal Singh Bhullar, and condemned him to death for his role in the fatal attacks of 1993. To a poser on these developments, Steiner said that his country's President had requested Indian government to do away with the death penalty.
