Juvenile in Delhi gangrape case won’t be freed for now

Last month, the mother and father of the sufferer had demanded that the face of juvenile convict, who was the “most brutal” of all of the six offenders, ought to be proven to the world earlier than he’s launched citing “he’s a menace to the society”. Sources said that his movements will be monitored for a year. The government flew her to a hospital in Singapore for medical treatment but she succumbed to her injuries. “Our daughter won’t get justice until and till the 4 convicts are hanged and the juvenile convict is put behind the bars”, she had added.

The Commission has taken cognisance of the complaint by the parents of the girl, who was brutally gangraped and murdered in Delhi on December 16, 2012.

Sharp reactions were shooted out by the political parties and activists after the disturbed parents of the Nirbhaya case victim retaliated sharply over the juvenile issue urging the government to send him to jail.

Ahead of the release of the juvenile convict, Union Minister Maneka Gandhi on December 01, 2015, said that she has written to the Home Ministry demanding that those accused of sexual abuse and having served a sentence, should be tracked once released. The Delhi government has also denied such development.

Information has been also sought on whether the juvenile has been recently subjected to psychological or psychiatric assessment for assessing his mental health.

The convict, who was below 18 at the time of the horrific crime, was sentenced to three years in a reform home.
