New Delhi: Ahead of the release of the juvenile convict in the December 16 Delhi gangrape case next month, Union minister Maneka Gandhi on Monday suggested of keeping a “close watch” on the juvenile while expressing helplessness in extending punishment to him and said while law was adhered to, she was not sure whether the justice was done in one of the most gruesome cases.
“I don’t know whether justice has been served but certainly the law has been adhered to,” the minister said and added “Yes, I am afraid we are” when asked if the government was waiting for him to commit another crime.
Suggesting that a close watch be kept on the accused after he is freed after completing sentence in the gangrape and murder case, which shook the country, the minister said that she will raise the issue with the authorities.
