“I am looking forward to their hanging and hanging them will give great relief to me,” he added.
The execution was originally scheduled for January 22 but was postponed till Saturday after one of the convicts had filed a mercy petition.
Saturday’s hanging is also under the clouds as one of the convicts filed a mercy petition before the President of India on Wednesday.
“It is highly unlikely that the execution will take place on Saturday,” sources said.
