New Delhi, October 12
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed execution of the death sentence of Sonam, convicted with her friend Naveen of killing seven members of her family in a Rohtak village in September 2009.
Sonam was scheduled to be sent to the gallows on October 16. Describing Sonam and Naveen as monsters, the Punjab and Haryana High Court confirmed their death sentence on July 17, 2018. The execution of the death sentence of Naveen was stayed on September 7.
Sonam and her boyfriend Naveen had killed seven members of her family in Rohtak’s Kabulpur village. Her family was against her wish to marry Naveen, who belonged to the same Dagar clan. The duo had killed Sonam’s parents Surender (45) and Promila (40), brother Arvind (15), grandmother Bhuro Devi (70) and cousins Vishal (10), Sonika (12) and Monica (14). — IANS
