Following the nation-wide debated release of the 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano case by the Gujarat court, a PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court by advocate Aparna Bhat challenging last week’s remission, which has been responded upon by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana agreeing as the bench in the further inquiry for the case. The 11 released convicts were responsible for sexually assaulting a pregnant Bilkis Bano, leaving her nearly dead, along with the heinous act of killing 14 people in the 2002 Gujarat riots.
