New Delhi: With the Supreme Court on Monday dismissing the plea by Delhi Commission for Women opposing the release of juvenile accused in the December 16 gang-rape case, the parents of Nirbhaya have been left in a state of shock, for they  have been vehemently advocating against the release of the juvenile convict.
“How many more Nirbhayas do we need to change the law of this country,” an evidently heartbroken yet enraged Asha Devi, mother of Nirbhaya questioned, reacting to the development.

Promising to keep the fight on till the laws are changed she said, “All I have to say is that the plea, which was rejected by all three courts, will encourage more such crimes to be committed in society against women. There is no provision (to convict juveniles) or to punish them. They (courts) are more concerned about the accused. Women have been cheated and they continue to be cheated. Nobody wants to do anything on women’s safety.”

“If people have not learnt any lesson from Nirbhaya case, then what can one expect,” she questioned bursting into tears adding that the juveniles have got certificate to commit crime.

Badrinath Singh, father of the victim Jyoti Singh was quoted saying: “We don`t understand all these laws. We only know that the system has failed us.”

The juvenile convict of the horrific December 16 gang-rape case was released yesterday.

The convict, who is now 20 years old, was known to be the most brutal of the six attackers.
