A Juvenile Justice Board is likely to pronounce its verdict on Thursday against the juvenile accused of his alleged involvement in the December 16 gang-rape and murder of a 23-year-old student.

 

The gang rape victim, nicknamed Nirbhaya by the media, was brutally assaulted in a moving bus by the five accused and died of her injuries on December 29 at a hospital in Singapore.

The board reserved its order after concluding its inquiry against the accused almost seven months after the incident.
