Delhi gang rape: Juvenile rapist moved to undisclosed place

December 20, 2015 17:01

The juvenile convict in the December 2012 Delhi bus gang rape was moved to an undisclosed location days before his scheduled release tomorrow, sources said.

Late tonight, the Delhi Commission for Women launched a last-ditch effort to block his release by moving a special leave petition in the Supreme Court.

DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal tweeted that she was trying to stop the release, scheduled after 5pm tomorrow. We are trying our best to stop his release, Maliwal said on her way to the court around midnight.

A vacation bench headed by Justice A K Goel, however, decided to hear the matter only on Monday. It did not stay the release.

Sources said the convict, who is now 20, had already been handed over to an NGO and would remain in its custody for six months under police protection.
