'So sad that a girl's extinguished life is worth only three years'

The juvenile accused in the December 16 gang rape case was found guilty of murder and rape of the 23-year-old girl, but he got away with a maximum of three years imprisonment mandated under the juvenile law.

Bollywood voiced its opinion on justice denied, and vented themselves.

Swara Bhaskara, actress: It’s a SHAME. People should be judged and punished for their act, not for their age. There is nothing childlike or juvenile about the brutal crime this boy has committed.

This amounts to him getting away almost scot-free. He deserves to be hung for the volume of violence he inflicted on the girl.

It shows an inhuman perversion and brutality.

He deserves only the death penalty.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, filmmaker: We need to redefine the term ‘juvenile’. Let this be the moment when the law is amended. The thinkers, movers and shakers have to spearhead this moment and lay down the foundation for a social change.
