All 11 convicts surrendered in Bilkis Bano case, Supreme Court had given instructions

Following the deadline set by the Supreme Court, all 11 of the convicts in the Bilkis Bano case turned themselves in late on Sunday night at the Godhra sub-jail in the Panchmahal district of Gujarat. According to NL Desai, inspector of the local criminal branch, all 11 of the prisoners turned themselves into jail officials late on Sunday night.

They arrived at the prison ahead of the deadline for their surrender on January 21, which was midnight. On January 8, the Supreme Court revoked the immunity granted to the eleven convicted individuals in this case by the Gujarati government.

The state had been chastised by the court for misusing its discretion. The state administration ordered the prisoners who were prematurely released on Independence Day in 2022 to report back to prison in two weeks. The prisoners' request for an extension to submit their sentences was denied by the Supreme Court on Friday, and they were instructed to do so by Sunday.
