Delhi rape victim's kin to appeal against Juvenile Justice Board

January 29, 2013 10:52

The father of the 23-year-old student who was gang-raped on a moving bus in Delhi last month said he would appeal in a higher court against the verdict on the 6th accused, reports NDTV.

The accused has been recognised as an under-18 and he will be tried separately from the five other men, who are accused of gang rape and murder.

"Right now it's like we've been given an electric shock; but we can't allow an electric shock to kill us. It will be a crime to let a man who committed such a heinous crime go scot free. We will go to court and appeal. We will do whatever we have to," said the father.
