IT CAN HAPPEN ONLY IN INDIA: THREE-YEAR-OLD CHILD CHARGED FOR RIOTING IN BIHAR!!

Believe it or not. A three-year-old boy was allegedly involved in various heinous crimes, including rioting and attempt to murder, in Bihar's Katihar district, according to police in Katihar.
Raj Kumar Jha alias Raju, of Nawabganj village under Manihari police station, has been booked under Sections
307 (Attempt to Murder), 323 (Voluntarily causing hurt), 349 (Use of force) and 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of IPC and Arms Act after a clash between two communities on January 30.
Two groups had clashed over the route of a religious procession leading to intervention by the police, which fired in the air to disperse the warring factions. Police claimed they too were fired upon by the crowd.
Raju's father Raj Narayan, who runs a PCO, said he had tried to get the case against the infant revoked but failed.
Officer in-charge of Manihari police station S N Singh said Raju's name has been included among the accused
apparently by mistake.
"How can a toddler (Raju was aged around two years at the time of the incident) engage in rioting?" he himself wondered and said probably it was due to the similarity in the names of the father and the son which led to the error.
When contacted, Superintendent of Police Anil Kishore Yadav said he had instructed a Deputy Superintendent
of Police to look into the matter and submit a report. "Appropriate action will be taken once the report is received."
A few months ago, a similar flutter had been caused when a six-year-old was accused of outraging the modesty of a woman and had approach a Patna court for bail. The case against him was discharged by the court..

83-year-old man seeks divorce!
An 80-year-old man seeking divorce from wife after leading a married life for 53 years may sound unusual. However, Budheshwar Shukla, a retired employee of the Central Bank of India in Kanpur, is fed up with the married life and he has filed a divorce case last week in the family court, alleging that his wife Rani Devi, 71, tortures him physically and mentally. The couple had tied the nuptial knot in 1954 when even the Hindu Marriage Act had not come into existence. Shukla has maintained in his application that their marital life has been marked with frequent conflicts which could be resolved only with the intervention of neighbours. He said, in his application, that on January 11 also he had sent a notice to Rani Devi but this did not change her ways. A father of two daughters and a son, all married, Shukla contends that he has faced four operations and can not stand the alleged atrocities of his wife any further. His advocate said that Shukla had also leveled several charges against his daughter Kusum and his son-in-law Narendra. The judge of family court had fixed August 3 as the next date of hearing the case.
