Unhappy with the three-year sentence to the juvenile convicted in the grisly December 16 gangrape, lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on Monday said there was a need to review laws for juveniles, including the age limit in cases of heinous crimes.
“I am not satisfied with the verdict. I’m personally not happy with it. I do not believe that justice has been served in the case so far,” said Jung when asked to comment on the verdict of the Juvenile Justice Board. The lt Governor further said there was a need to review the age limit for juveniles involved in such heinous crimes. “The age of juvenile should be lowered. Even if it is lowered to 14, there would be nothing wrong with that,” he added.
