After The Execution
The Indian government did not hand over the bodies of Satwant Singh Bhaker and Kehar Singh to their next of kin. Their bodies were cremated within Tihar jail.

Citing concerns about possible violence, the authorities refused to turn even the ashes over to the relatives for use in religious ceremonies.
