Six-Year-Old Boy Protests Alleged Police Misconduct in Patna, Seeks Legal ActionPreviousNext

In Patna, six-year-old Aditya protested against alleged police mistreatment of his parents during an August 25 student demonstration. Holding the Constitution, he demanded suspension of involved officers and appealed to Prime Minister Modi. The police denied detaining the family, stating they moved them for safety. After Independent MP Pappu Yadav's appeal, Aditya ended his hunger strike and sought legal advice to pursue action. Political parties have responded neutrally, and authorities are investigating the claims.
