The premature release of the 11 men convicted for the gang rape of Bilkis Bano and killing of her family during the 2002 Gujarat riots, was opposed by a Special Judge and the prosecuting agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The 11 men convicted for the gang rape of Bilkis Bano and the killing of her family were out of the jail for over a thousanddays on parole while serving their sentences, showed a court document.
According to the affidavit sent by the government of Gujarat to the Supreme Court, the convicts were in prison for 14 years and their behaviour was found to be good.
