New Delhi, Feb 04 (ANI): Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar in Rajya Sabha said that the delay in giving punishment to the convicts of Nirbhaya's case is due to the negligence of the state government. "The appeal of the convicts was rejected by Supreme Court in 2017 but jail authorities took more than a year to complete the process for informing the convicts. The delay is due to the state government," said Javadekar.
