BJP leader Subramanian Swamy serves a notice to the Delhi High Court that the juvenile rapist and murderer in the Delhi gang-rape of December 16, 2012, should not be freed. Swamy said the rapist has been radicalised according to reports from the Intelligence Bureau.

Amid apprehension raised by Nirbhaya parents, the Union Home Ministry is contemplating to ask the juvenile convict to sign a legal bond affirming good behaviour after his release.

The bond as per Section 107 of Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) will act as security for keeping the peace after his release from a juvenile remand home.

"The Ministry is mulling on the option in this regard as it is legally not possible to keep him behind the bars," a senior official said.

As per the CrPC provision, when an executive magistrate receives information that any person is likely to commit a breach of the peace or disturb public tranquility and is of opinion that there is sufficient ground for proceeding, he may, require such person to show cause why he should not be ordered to execute a bond, with or without sureties, for keeping the peace for a period not exceeding one year.
