Three years after the brutal crime, the juvenile convict is all set to walk free in December. Ahead of release of the juvenile convict in the Nirbhaya gangrape case in December, Union minister Maneka Gandhi on Monday expressed helplessness in extending punishment to him and said while law was adhered to, she was not sure whether the justice was done in one of the most gruesome cases that shook the country's conscience.
"Let us not confuse justice with the law. The law said that he could only go to children home. That's the anomaly we are trying to correct. So, he served his sentence and in according to the law he is coming out. And there is nothing we can do about it until or unless he commits another crime. So that is all we can do", the minister said.
The 20-year-old convict from Uttar Pradesh's Badaun was a juvenile when the court found him guilty of raping and assaulting the victim with iron rods along with five accomplices in a private moving bus in Delhi. During the investigations, the police found out that the juvenile was the most brutal among all the six assaulters.
