Rishi
Kapoor
expressed
frustration
over
the
repeated
overturning
of
judgment
and
pushing
of
dates
with
regard
to
the
Nirbhaya
case.
The
veteran
actor
took
to
Twitter
to
note
that
the
delay
in
delivering
justice
is
getting
ridiculous,
and
pointed
out
that
the
situation
was
just
like
in
his
film
Damini.
On
Monday,
the
Delhi
High
Court
stayed
the
execution
of
the
gang-rape
convicts,
as
the
mercy
petition
of
one
of
them
is
still
pending.
Referring
to
this,
Rishi
tweeted,
"Nirbhaya
case.
Tareekh
pe
tareekh,tareekh
pe
tareekh,
tareekh
pe
tareekh-
"Damini".
Ridiculous!"
(sic).
Nirbhaya
case.
Tareekh
pe
tareekh,tareekh
pe
tareekh,
tareekh
pe
tareekh-
“Damini”.
Ridiculous!
The
four
convicts
were
to
be
sent
to
the
gallows
on
Tuesday
morning,
but
just
13
hours
before
that,
Justice
Dharmendra
Rane
stopped
the
execution.
One
of
the
convicts,
Pawan
Gupta
had
filed
a
mercy
petition
at
the
last
minute,
which
is
still
pending
with
Rashtrapati
Bhawan.
Damini,
a
1993
film
which
starred
Rishi,
Sunny
Deol,
Amrish
Puri
and
Meenakshi
Sheshadri
told
the
story
of
a
woman,
who
witnesses
the
gang-rape
of
a
domestic
help
in
her
in-laws
house,
and
decides
to
fight
for
her.
An
iconic
scene
in
the
film
is
when
Sunny,
who
plays
a
lawyer,
expresses
frustration
over
the
judicial
system
with
the
lines,
"tareekh
pe
tareekh."
The
execution
of
the
four
convicted
in
the
brutal
rape
and
murder
of
a
para-medic
in
Delhi
had
already
been
postponed
twice
before
the
latest
development.
