The Juvenile Justice Board awarded him the maximum punishment provided in the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act last week. A teenager who allegedly kidnapped and murdered the six-year-old son of his neighbours in central Delhi’s Ranjit Nagar area two years ago has been convicted of the crime and sent to a juvenile detention centre for three years. The juvenile, then 17 years old, had demanded a ransom of Rs 1.5 lakh from the boy’s family because he wanted to buy a high-end mobile phone.
