Delhi HC to decide on the fate of the juvenile convict in Nirbhaya gang-rape case today

New Delhi, Dec 18 (IBNS) The Delhi High Court will decide on Friday the fate of the juvenile convict in the infamous December 16 Delhi gangrape and murder case by taking a decision whether the then juvenile will be released or not.

The High Court is likely to give an order on Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy's petition demanding that the juvenile should not be released. 

The juvenile has been in a remand home for the past three years.

Swamy has claimed that the mental condition of the juvenile should be monitored. "He has not reformed, he has become worse, a jihadi. The law says when time has come to let a juvenile out, his mental state had to be examined by a committee. If they find his mental state is not stable, he should be kept for 2 more years," Swamy said.

Nirbhaya's mother as well as several social organisations have demanded that the juvenile, who reportedly was most cruel with Nirbhaya, be dealt with more harshly commensurate with the gravity of the crime he had committed.
