The juvenile has been in a correctional facility since December 2012. He was released after the Supreme Court refused the dramatic post-midnight move of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) to stay his release by giving an urgent hearing.
There were massive protests against the release of the convict on Sunday afternoon at Rajpath. Nirbhaya's parents took part in it even as several protesters demanded that the juvenile should be hanged instead of being released. The protestors were later detained. The juvenile convict was moved out of Delhi on Saturday, a day before his scheduled release.
The convict, who is now 20 years old and was known to be the most brutal of the attackers, was taken to an undisclosed location amid concerns that there was a threat to his life.
The parents of the gang-rape victim said they were disappointed with the High Court order refusing to stay his release and said they want justice. "I just want justice, I want stay on his (juvenile convict) release. Hearing is just to mislead the people. They (DCW) tried in night. They might have been able to stop the release if they had tried during the day," said Nirbhaya's mother.
