New Delhi, March 15 : The prosecution on Monday sought death penalty for Ariz Khan, an alleged Indian Mujahideen terrorist, in the 2008 Batla House encounter, while the counsel for the convict sought leniency on the ground of his young age.
Additional Sessions Judge Sandeep Yadav will pronounce the order on the sentencing at 4 p.m.
On March 8, the court had convicted Khan in the case, noting that he murdered encounter specialist and Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma.
