Oh boy! Barely 2 and on the run from police

Katihar (Bihar): First it was an eightyear-old who was marched into a courtroom to face charges of murdering three children. Then a six-year-old was accused of sexual abuse. Just when you think crime can’t get any younger comes the case of a two-year-old boy in Bihar who’s been charged with rioting and even firing at the police. He faces arrest and has been asked to surrender. Raj Kumar, son of Raju Jha of Nababganj village in Katihar district, has been charged with firing at police and has an arrest warrant out for him. A case has been registered under IPC’s Sections 307 (attempt to murder), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 349 (using force) and 34 (common intent). This is what happened. The Manihari police lodged an FIR on Jan 30 against a dozen people, including the child, charging them with attempted murder and rioting after a clash between two groups during a Muharram procession. Police had to open fire to break up the mob. Fearing police reprisal and arrest of their son, the parents are said to have fled the village and are on the run. Katihar SP Anil Kishore Yadav told TOI he had ordered his deputy to get details of the warrant against the twoyear-old, saying he couldn’t do anything to revoke the order until he received a full report. Manihari’s station officer-incharge couldn’t be contacted despite several attempts. A senior lawyer poohpoohed the SP’s defence that he was not competent enough to delete the child’s name. Other ‘infant crime’ Three-month-old charged under the Arms Act in Muzaffarpur district Rani Kumar, 2, charged with attacking police party that went to arrest her father Five-year-old Santosh accused in a dowry case. He was allegedly harassing his sister-in-law for dowry .

My comments - Sorry but I couldn’t get the link of this article , but I felt it was freaky article that I had to show .The reason behind this fiasco may be because it's taken place in Bihar(no-offence to Bihari readers),but such a small kid holds a gun and ,god dammed , shoots at the policemen out of all people . I just posted it cause I felt shocked after reading this article.

Use quotes, these are available on the editor options toolbar!

Could've been reformatted like
