The juvenile convict in the December 16, 2012 gang-rape was on Sunday
released and sent to an NGO at an undisclosed destination with police no
longer guarding him.
“We have left him with an NGO,” police sources said.
Government sources said when asked two days back whether he would like
to go home in Badaun in Uttar Pradesh or to an NGO, he opted for the
latter citing security concerns.
The release of the 20 year—old convict came as parents of the gang-rape
victim continued their protest for the second day along with activists
protesting against his release and demanding death penalty for him.
At the ongoing protest at India Gate, the victim's father, Badrinath,
said that he would "now mobilise people to make it a movement."
"It's all politics that is happening, not justice, " he said.
Some of the protesters were demanding the death sentence for the juvenile convict.
“Our fight is just on the issue that he (juvenile convict) must not come out. If he will come out then what is the point of hearing (by Supreme Court) or any other thing,” said victim’s mother.
