A Juvenile Justice Board in the Indian capital Thursday framed rape and murder charges against the minor accused in the December 16 Delhi gang-rape case, according to local media.

The family of the Delhi gang-rape victim had demanded death penalty for the juvenile accused in the incident and does not accept that the sixth accused get anything less than death penalty, local newspaper Times of India online said.

Police have already accused five others of murder, gang rape and robbery among other charges in the horrifying gang rape which shook India.

A 23-year-old woman died after being brutally raped by six men on a moving bus in south Delhi in December.

The case triggered widespread public protests against violence against women in the country.
