Just in: The Delhi police is mulling charging the juvenile perpetrator of the December 16 gang rape under the National Security Act. The man, who was a juvenile at the time of the incident, is set to walk free on December 15 after three years in a remand home. The cops are likely to book the juvenile under the NSA before he is released and are in consultation with lawyers and the home ministry. If that happens he can be incarcerated for a maximum of another 12 months. He is now 20 years old.


This comes after the parents of the woman, who was died as a result of the gang rape and torture, approached the National Human Rights Commission against his release, saying he is a threat to them as well as the society.


Reports have said that the juvenile was largely responsible for the death of the woman, who is referred to as Nirbhaya (The Fearless One) and was the "most brutal" of all the six rapists. The victim's father also wants his face to be shown to the world.
