Delhi juvenile gang rapist freed amid protests

The rapist, who cannot be named as he was a minor at the time of the crime, was sentenced to a maximum three years in a reform facility in August 2013. Although the convict is now an adult, he was tried as a juvenile and has served the full sentence allowed.
Government sources said when asked two days back whether he would like to go home in Badaun in Uttar Pradesh or to an NGO, he opted for the latter citing security concerns.
The convict from Badaun village, who is now 20-years-old and was known to be the most brutal of the attackers, has been taken to an undisclosed location from a correction home in North Delhi amid concerns that there was a threat to his life.
In December 2012, the juvenile was part of the six member gang that lured a 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist Jyothi Singh and her male friend onto a bus, where she was gruesomely raped.
