Wanna play hangman?

"The role of a hangman in the execution of a death sentence is very crucial. The job needs special training from doctors of forensic science. It's a highly technical job, since he has to tie the rope around the neck in such a manner that the accused dies in the minimum amount of time, which can range from 150 to 300 seconds. If the accused is muscular, then the period may increase to even seven or eight minutes. As per the Maharashtra prison manual, he is eligible to get a maximum of Rs 75 for each execution".
