Three years passed but none of the criminals of Nirbhaya case are punished until now. Instead the juvenile will be set free on December 20th if the court failed to take any decision on the petitions filed requesting for prolonging his punishment. On her third death anniversary today, several people including her parents Asha Devi and Badrinath gathered at Jantar Mantar and remembered her.

On this occasion her mother disclosed her daughter’s name. “My daughter’s name is Jyothy Singh. There is nothing to feel shy. Instead our government and courts should be ashamed for not able to punish the culprits even after three years. I don’t know whether he is minor or major. What I expect is when the crime is so heinous, age should not be taken into consideration for punishing the culprits.”

Jyothy Singh’s father Badrinath said “I ask our government whether it believes correct to release the juvenile despite his brutal crime. Our legal system and government failed to ensure justice to the victim and punishment to the culprits. The juvenile shouldn’t be released from juvenile home. We have tried to convince the courts and the government, but in vain. Hence, we appeal the people to insist the government to hold the juvenile in juvenile home and punish the culprits of this case.”

Many social activists, women associations, President Pranab Mukhurjee’s daughter Sharmistha Mukhurjee, Delhi Commission for Women Swati Maliwal, former IPS officer Kiran Bedi, former DCW Chief Barkha Singh and many people attended this 3rd death anniversary day of Jyothy Singh today. They paid tributes to her and made very valuable suggestions to the government in their speeches. Let us hope government and our legal system lend their ears to their suggestions and appeals.
