The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to stay the release of the juvenile convict in the December 16 gang-rape case after completion of his 3-year jail term. The convict will be released on or before December 20. The 23-year-old paramedical student Jyoti Singh was brutally sexually assaulted on the ill-fated night of December 16 three years ago, and died 13 days later, triggering a massive public outrage.
