Nirbhaya case: 3 of 4 convicted to plead before SC today

Rattled with the Tihar Jail administration's notice, three of the four convicted in the Nirbhaya gang-rape case, may reach the Supreme Court on Monday.

While Vinay Kumar Sharma and Akshay Kumar Singh are lodged in Tihar Jail, Pawan Kumar Gupta is imprisoned in Mandoli Jail.

The four convicts were served a notice on October 28-19 asking them to
