Delhi Gang Rape: Youngest Attacker 'Ripped out Victim's Intestines with Bare Hands'
A juvenile who is one of six suspects accused of gang raping and murdering a 23-year-old medical student in Delhi was the most violent of all the attackers, police say.
A police spokesman said that the juvenile sexually abused his victim twice and ripped out her intestines with his bare hands.
Because of his age, he is the only one of the six who cannot be sentenced to death if found guilty. He will be tried in a juvenile court.
A police officer told the newspaper: "Of all the persons in the bus, two had engaged in the most barbarism - Ram Singh, the main accused in the case, and the juvenile.
Threat to every woman
"Both of them had subjected her to sexual abuse twice. Singh was the first to rape her, followed by the juvenile and then Akshay. Later when she lost consciousness, Singh and the juvenile raped her a second time."
The victim's father has said that despite his age, he should be given the death penalty if found guilty.
He told the Economic Times that it was the youngest member of the gang that persuaded his daughter to board the bus. "The juvenile should be punished first. He was the one who lured my daughter into the bus and tortured her most mercilessly. He should be hanged like the other five accused.
"Imagine his brutality when he is 17. What a demon he would become once he is older. The government should reduce the juvenile age to 12 or 15 years. All the six accused should never be allowed to step out of the jail. They must be hanged. They are a threat to every woman on the street."

Opinion:
Most likely this juvenile is a Muslim - this is the reason police and government are hiding his name. He is from badaun area of Bihar where there are large number of Muslims. Given the general nature of Islamic men it's not surprising that this 'minor' was such a brute.
