Father of gangrape victim 'Nirbhaya' (C) addresses a rally in New Delhi on December 20, 2015, held to protest the release of a juvenile rapist. 

 

New Delhi: The father of a student who died after being gang-raped in New Delhi in 2012 said the family had been failed by Indian justice after a court rejected an appeal against the release of one of her attackers. 

"What can I say? There are no words to describe our disappointment," Badrinath Singh, the father of the victim Jyoti Singh, told AFP.

"We don't understand all these laws. We only know that the system has failed us."
