Nirbhaya's parents released after short detention outside juvenile's reform home

December 19, 2015 20:30

December 16 gangrape victim's parents were on Saturday released by the police after a brief detention for protesting outside juvenile reform home against the release of the juvenile convict.

"We want all the four convicts to be hanged. It seems the juvenile convict has got nobel prize so he is being freed. May be the convict is already free. We will keep protesting till we get justice," said the victims father to ANI.

Soon after their detention, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted: 'I have asked Chief Secy to talk to Police commissioner and get them released.'

The juvenile convicted in the December 16, 2012 gangrape case will be released Sunday from the 'place of safety' where he has been lodged for three years.

On Friday, the Delhi high court declined to issue orders to 'extend' his stay, underlining that legal provisions under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act did not allow for detention beyond three years.
