Intelligence sleuths alerted the Juvenile Justice Board and the Union Home Ministry about interaction between two juveniles kept at Juvenile special home at Magazine Road near Majnu Ka Tila in North Delhi. One is detained in Nirbhaya case and the other is in Delhi High Court bomb blasts case.

Intelligence sleuths observed that the juvenile facing punishment in bomb blasts case is trying to draw the other into Jihadi fold during their interaction. They both turned 20 now and the one who was serving his 3 years term in Nirbhaya case will be released from juvenile home in December this year. Hence, the intelligence sleuths suspects that he may turn into a trouble maker for the country if allowed to remain under influence of other juvenile in the home. Following the instructions from higher officials, the care -takers of the juvenile home shifted them to different rooms in the same house.

But, this development is underlining a point that the juvenile home care-takers failed to bring any change in the juveniles’ criminal attitudes for which they were kept in their observation. Juvenile Board spends crores of rupees for providing education, medical, counseling and rehabilitation for juveniles to make sure they join the main stream after their release from the home.

But, after serving 34 months in the juvenile home, the juvenile convicted in heinous Nirbhaya crime was found got attracted to Jihadi movement instead of turning into a decent citizen. This is indeed a failure and negligence of the care-takers of the juvenile home. They even failed to notice their interaction and their idea behind it. The juvenile takers to be blamed in case if the juvenile releasing from home in December this year if creates any big problems for the country.
