One of the suspects in last month's fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old student which shocked India is a minor, a court has ruled.
The Juvenile Justice Board said it accepted the accused's date of birth as 4 June 1995, making him 17 years old. He will be tried in a juvenile court.
If convicted, he faces a maximum of three years in a reform facility.
Five other accused are on trial for the crime at a specially convened fast-track court and face the death penalty.
The case has shocked India and sparked a debate about its treatment of women.
A lawyer present in the court said a magistrate announced the decision after going over documents presented to the court by officials of the suspect's elementary school, which indicated that he was a juvenile at the time of the attack, Associated Press reported.
The physiotherapy student, who cannot be named in India for legal reasons, and a male friend were attacked on a bus in south Delhi on 16 December.
Police said the assailants beat both of them, and then raped the woman. She suffered massive internal injuries and died nearly two weeks later in hospital.
