New Delhi, Mar 1: Finding prima facie evidence against him in the Nirbhaya gang rape case, the Juvenile Justice Board on Thursday served notice on the sixth accused — a minor — for gang rape, murder, kidnapping, unnatural offences, attempt to murder, dacoity, destruction of evidence and conspiracy.

Under the Juvenile Justice Act, serving of notice is equivalent to framing of charges by the court after which trial against the accused begins.

Principal magistrate of the board has now fixed the case on March 6 for recording of evidence. The notice on the charges of robbery, wrongful confinement and destruction of evidence have also been served against the juvenile in another case of robbing a vegetable seller who had boarded the bus before Nirbhaya and her friend on December 16, 2012. The panel will commence recording of evidence in the robbery case from March 12 against the juvenile.

In both the cases, the minor claimed innocence and opted to contest the charges framed by the JJ Board. If convicted, the minor can face a maximum punishment of three years under the JJ Act.

Earlier, the police, in its report filed before the JJB, slapped charges of gang rape, murder, unnatural sex, dacoity, criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence among other offences.
