The number of people executed in [[India]] since [[Indian independence movement|independence]] in 1947 is a matter of dispute; official government statistics claim that only 57 people had been executed since independence. However, available information from other sources indicates that the official government figures are false, and the actual number of executions in India may run to several thousand.<ref name="indiatimes.com">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/number-of-executions-much-higher-than-55/articleshow/1046770.cms|title='Number of executions much higher than 55'|work=The Times of India|accessdate=30 January 2015}}</ref><ref name="telegraphindia.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050323/asp/atleisure/story_4524114.asp|title=The Telegraph - Calcutta : At Leisure|work=telegraphindia.com|accessdate=30 January 2015}}</ref>

Research by the [[People's Union for Democratic Rights]] (PUDR) has located government records of 1,422 executions in 16 states in the decade from 1953 to 1963 alone. PUDR located this information in an appendix of the 35th report of the [[Law Commission of India| Fourth Law Commission]] in 1967.<ref name="indiatimes.com"/><ref name="telegraphindia.com"/> The [[National Law University, Delhi|National Law University Delhi]] compiled a list of persons executed in India since 1947 and found that at least 752 individuals had been executed, including the period from 1 January to 15 August 1947. Their report was compiled "as per responses received from Central prisons in India. Certain prisons have either provided information only for a limited period or refused to provide any information or did not have any records available." Therefore, the actual number of persons would be much more than 752. While information about the number of executions should be available with individual prison departments within each state, the government has been reluctant to share such information. For example, authorities in Kerala claimed that all records of executions had been destroyed by [[Termite|termites]]. Andhra Pradesh gave the same reason for not furnishing post-1968 records. Bihar claimed that the state did not maintain records of executions, while Tamil Nadu's Additional Director General of Police (Prisons) refused to provide any records at all.<ref name=DeathPenaltyResearchProject>{{cite web|title=State-wise list of prisoners executed in India since 1947|url=http://www.deathpenaltyindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/PrisonersExecutedinIndiasince-1947.pdf|website=deathpenaltyindia.com|publisher=National Law University Delhi|accessdate=29 January 2015}}</ref> According to Alexander Jacob, Additional Director General of Police (Prisons) of Kerala, "nearly 50 people had been executed in Kerala in the post-Independence period".<ref name="thehindu.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/in-abolishing-death-penalty-travancore-set-an-example/article4281579.ece|title=In abolishing death penalty, Travancore set an example|work=The Hindu|accessdate=30 January 2015}}</ref>

Rasha alias Raghuraj Singh, executed on 9 September 1947 at Jabalpur Central Jail, is presumed to be the first person executed in independent India.<ref name=DeathPenaltyResearchProject/> [[2012 Delhi gang rape and murder|Akshay Thakur, Mukesh Singh, Pawan Gupta and Vinay Sharma]], who were hanged on 20 March 2020, were the last persons to be executed in India.
