Was so happy to know he has killed himself. Either ways (self or by someone), glad his end came soon. Maybe Dexter is there somewhere. :-)

And I have heard that hardened criminals in jail usually dole out special treatment to those who are accused of rape or child molestation and murder. There is a high possibility that someone in jail murdered him. This was exactly the fear amongst the accused because of which they appealed to have their cases moved out of Tihar Jail. Hope the others meet their maker soon and rot in hell.

Coward!! died to easily. I wish he had suffered for a few years the same kind of torture he inflicted on the poor girl and then died.
To inflict full punishment for such rapists they must be made impotent and left on the streets, having all kinds of desire in their heads but unable to perform anything. Perfect punishment.

That is reserved for the so-called 'juvenile' accused.

Absolutely!!! This government is a bunch of such idiotic fools that even words can't catch up! They lower the age of consent to 16 years but they don't change the age of a 'juvenile'. A person who can commit such a crime has no reason to be called a Juvenile!

I dont know but this seems likely...

He definitely did not commit suicide. What is certain is that he was murdered. The question remains why and what was he killed to cover up.

The story has a pretty plausible ring to it. Make no mistake crime in this country does not happen without the knowledge and connivance of the police. Have heard enough stories to be convinced of that.

Forget being called a juvenile...

A person who can commit such a crime has permanently and irreversibly violated the moral fibre of all those others, who believe in and follow civilised living/life.

A person who can commit such a crime has crossed the point of no return (for those of us who think that all criminals should be allowed to repent and correct themselves over a period of time).

A person who can commit such a crime immediately loses his or her raison d'être .


PS : all of the above only with reference to this specific crime under discussion.

When mad dogs are put down, we dont check their age to see if they are puppies or dogs, a rabid dog is put down no matter what.
Same case for this so called juvenile.

While the mainstream print media seems to have forgotten this case, the following update has taken place :

Sad to see the legal system being misused to protect such beings.

The defence counsel had also claimed that the juvenile had been implicated by the police though neither the victim nor her male friend had done so in their initial statements.

The juvenile had in his statement recorded by the Board during the inquiry claimed innocence and refuted the police version in the charge sheet of him being the “most brutal” of all the accused.

I hope the good Lord above will punish him for his crimes. I have little hope for anything more than a proverbial tap on the knucles from our system!

He can be sentenced to maximum three years in remand home

How is it a 'misuse'?

What change do you propose in the system? Remove the age factor and make sure everyone is tried as an adult from birth for all crimes?

[StarrySky]

After I read the report on the maximum punishment the juvenile accused can be given if he is convicted, I hoped that the media hadn't published it. Why?

It tells juvenile criminals and gangs who employ them that juvenile criminals can get away with even rape and murder.

The court would accept anybody's word on the juvenile criminal's date of birth and would refuse to subject the accused to scientific tests to determine his/her exact age. The juvenile criminal can come back from a correctional facility after 3 years and lead a "normal" life and without his/her criminal record mentioned anywhere.

I can almost picture criminal gangs recruiting juveniles to carry out horrific crimes by reassuring them that "even if you are convicted, you will be out in 3 years and the best part is, they won't even send you to jail".

Some gangs might even hire juveniles to claim that they took part in some crime and take all the blame on themselves, so that the real criminals can escape.

It is misuse when a criminal is let go on the technicality that he was not an adult. A rapist a few days before his 18th birthday and he gets 3 years to rehabilitate i.e prepare for a life of big crime and more cruelty, 1 day after his 18th birthday and he would have been looking at 14-21 years/death as applicable.

The change should be the American system where such scum are tried as adults and executed on their 18th birthday. This approach saves society by not having them around and no tax payer money is wasted on creating a potential media celebrity.

That's not a misuse - that's the intended use of the juvenile law.
