New Delhi, July 11 (ANI): The juvenile justice court said Thursday that it would pronounce its verdict on July 25 on the role of the teenager accused of brutally Delhi bus gang raping a paramedic student on a running bus on December 16, 2012, that left the nation outraged and shocked. The teenager, who was 17 years old at the time of the crime, is being tried by the Juvenile Justice Board and has pleaded not guilty, but if convicted, he faces a maximum of three years in juvenile detention.
“The judgment has been given, but it was not pronounced in the open court. It is in a sealed envelope. When we get access to it, only then can we let you know. The court has directed us, as well as the media, not to share the merits and details of the verdict, whether he is acquitted or convicted. The verdict has been given in one case, and in the other it would be pronounced on July 25,” said Rajesh Tiwari, counsel for the Juvenile Justice Board in New Delhi. According to the case filed by the police, the juvenile was the most brutal of the six accused during the rape and people have demanded severe punishment for him despite his juvenile age.
The December 16 attack, in which a 23-year-old physiotherapy student was allegedly beaten, raped and tortured with an iron rod by six people on a moving bus in New Delhi, sent thousands people onto the streets to protest over an increase in crimes against women.
The woman died from her injuries two weeks later at a hospital in Singapore where she had been flown for treatment.
Criminal proceedings against four men are in progress in a special fast-track court and their trial is expected to end later this month. One of the defendants was found dead in his prison cell in March, while the other four could face the death penalty if found guilty.

IMPHAL, July 11: The 4th Foundation Day of Extrajudicial Execution Victims Families Association (EEVFAM), Manipur was held at Nupee Lal Memorial Complex today.

Speaking at the function, Babloo Loitongbam of Human Rights Alert (HRA) said that 1528 fake encounters have been witnessed in the state, however none of the culprits have been punished till now even after the Supreme Court appointed commission has investigated into the cases.

He further raised questions on the failure of report of the Supreme Court appointed commission on its investigation into the seven cases, which was supposed to be released by July 4, 2013.

He said, proper investigations of the Commission on the cases had started at the Hotel Classic on march 3, 2013 which was continued at New Delhi from March 13 to 21 had confirmed six cases to be fake encounters for which the reports have already been submitted to the Supreme Court.

He said in Gujarat, four accused of fake encounters have been punished with help from the government and the media within a short period of time, however, even though there are 1528 alleged fake encounter cases in the state, both the state and central governments have failed to take up the cases.

He further alleged that the governments have failed to take initiatives to punish all those involved in fake encounters.

Recalling on a decision of the Jeevan Reedy commission on AFSPA, he said that the commission had said that the Armed Forces Special Power Act should be repealed as it is a draconian Act, however the government has failed to take any initiative towards this end.

He further continued that the EEVFAM will further approach the United Nations in case the Supreme Court fails to take action.

Irom Singhajit brother of Irom Sharmila said that Sharmila has been struggling 12 years to repeal AFSPA but there has been no response from the state and central government.

The government has failed to listen to the government’s voices, he said.

He further said that the Inner Line Permit System has to be implemented in the state.

Renu Takhellambam, president, EEVFAM said the EEVFAM was established in the year 2009 by young widows whose husbands were killed in fake encounter.

The widows have overcome several untoward incidents, biased and discrimination from the locality and kept apart after their husbands were killed on charges of having nexus with unlawful elements, she said.

She further alleged that the state home department could not punish all the culprits who are involved in fake encounters.

She continued that in the state, the number of individuals killed by security forces is more than those killed by UG groups.
