2012 Delhi gangrape: Delhi HC refuses to stay release, juvenile convict to walk free on Sunday
He is all set to walk free on Sunday.
The court rejected a plea by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy in connection with the release of the convict.
The juvenile has been in a remand home for the past three years.
The victim's mother said they did not get justice.
"A criminal will walk free. We hoped that we will get justice," Nirbhaya's mother told media.
Her father said their fight will continue.
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.
