President has rejected Nirbhaya convict Vinay Sharma's mercy plea this morning.

President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday rejected the mercy plea filed by Vinay Sharma, one of the convicts in the Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case. 

Vinay Sharma had filed a mercy plea before the President, in which he pleaded for his life. His hand-written note read, "I want to live for my parents, even if it means spending a lifetime in jail. I don't want to be hanged because the jail-term and the years of struggle have already taught me my lesson."
