Shabnam is presently lodged in Rampur district jail while Salim is lodged in Agra prison.
Speaking to India Today, jailor Rakesh Kumar Verma said the prision administration has started preparations for the hanging. "Her mercy petition has been rejected by the President. We have requested Amroha administration to obtain her death warrant. As soon as it is received, we will transfer her to Mathura district jail as it has the provision for hanging of women," Verma said.
