New Delhi: The accused of Delhi gangrape case are now seems to divert the case in different direction. This case was one of the rarest of the rare case which occurred in Delhi last year in a bus on 16th of December. A 23-year-old student and her male friend boarded the bus near a South Delhi mall and were assaulted with an iron rod, allegedly by a group of six men including the minor, who was 17 at the time.
The couple was thrown onto the road after the young woman was raped. She died in a Singapore hospital two weeks later.
Now, the teenager being tried for December’s gang-rape on a moving bus in Delhi has been convicted of dacoity by a juveniles’ court.
The Juvenile Justice Board today found him guilty of robbing a carpenter just before student and her male friend.
Amid massive street protests, a court in Delhi was assigned to handle the trial of the five adult men with daily hearings to ensure swift justice, a commitment made by the government. In March, Ram Singh, the man described by the police as the ring-leader committed suicide at Tihar Jail in Delhi. The four other men are also being tried for robbing the carpenter.
Sources said that the juvenile will be sentenced on Thursday for that crime, on the same day; the Juvenile Justice Board is scheduled to rule on whether he participated in the gang-rape. He has denied the charges in earlier hearings.
If he is found guilty, he can be sent to a correctional facility for a maximum three-year term, which includes the time he has already spent in custody while waiting for the verdict.
But citizens of Delhi are much anger for the behaviour of court with minor accused. People are asking whether the accused is minor but he have done very inhuman activity with the girl and this case must be in the category of rarest of the rare and public is demanding for death of all these accused in this case so that an example come across the criminal and they tremble even while thinking about such violence.
