New Delhi, May 25: The Supreme Court on Tuesday stayed the death sentence awarded to underworld don Aftab Ahmed Ansari for the attack on the American Centre in Kolkata in 2002.
A vacation bench comprising Justices G.S. Singhvi and C.K. Prasad asked the West Bengal government to respond within four months to a petition filed by Ansari challenging his conviction and death sentence in the case.
