Officials from the prison of Jorhat have a shortage of staff willing to send criminals to the gallows and have begun advertising for someone qualified for the job, UK's Metro reported.

The job description appears to be for only the one execution -- that of Mahendra Nath Das, who was sentenced to death after committing a gruesome beheading in a busy market.

Judges in India rarely hand down a death sentences, but the court felt Das' crime deserved the penalty after he ran through the street carrying the bloodied head of an official in the local transporters' union.

There have only been two hangings in the country in the past 15 years and India's most experienced practitioner, Nata Mullick, passed away in 2009 -- leaving the role vacant.

印度監獄招聘劊子手

???????英國《都市報》消息，印度焦爾哈德市監獄缺少把罪犯送上絞刑架的行刑人員，所以開始打廣告招人。

???????職責描述中寫到實際上這個人就需要執行一次死刑，把馬亨德拉·奈斯·達斯送上絞刑架，他由于在鬧市上砍下一個人的頭而被判死刑。

???????印度法官通常很少判人死刑，但法庭認為達斯的罪行使人忍無可忍，他殺了當地交通協會的一位官員，并提著他血淋淋的頭在鬧市奔跑。

???????在過去的15年間，印度僅有兩人被判死刑，而印度最有經驗的劊子手納塔·穆利克在2009年去世，使得這一職位空缺。
