Juvenile convict in the December 16 gangrape and murder case will not be freed for the time being. He will be put in jail and his movements will be watched upon.

Delhi Police had earlier been contemplating to book him under the stringent National Security Act. Senior police officers had met senior lawyers on November 22 and sought an opinion on the same. However, sources say that the counsel gave them an option that that NSA won't stand in court. The detention under National Security Act can be stretched for one year.

The convict, who is now 21, is likely to be released in December when he completes three years in the correctional home.

In September, an Intelligence Bureau report said that he had been radicalised by one of the suspect of the 2011 Delhi High Court blast. The report said that the teenager was being motivated for jihad.
