: Come anywhere near 10 kms of the village where the juvenile involved in the December 16 gang-rape case lived, and people will start identifying the village with his name.

A small village situated around 200 kms from the Capital has become the centre of attraction for both national and international media.

“There are two villages by this name, one is where that boy who raped a girl in Delhi lives, where do you want to go?,” said a shopkeeper at a village just adjacent to the one where the juvenile accused lived.

Disgust written large on his face, another man added: “What an irony. People do good things and make their hometown famous and this boy made his village famous for all wrong reasons.”

Some distance ahead, another man said: “Kaun se gaon jana hai, jahan woh ladka rehta tha jisne dilli wala kand kia tha (where do you want to go to, that village where boy who raped the girl in Delhi lived?).” “We have heard that they are releasing him now. He is danger for the society, they should not do that,” he added.

The juvenile accused, who was the most brutal of the five accused who raped the 23-year-old paramedic, will be released from the juvenile home on Sunday.

Neighbouring villages identify it as the village of

the boy who raped the Delhi girl
