A Pakistani boy who is three months short of his first birthday was fingerprinted and booked in Lahore on an attempted murder charge following a violent encounter between his family members and the police who were simply trying to collect an unpaid bill.
The family allegedly threw bricks at the authorities on February 1 said Atif Zulfikar Butt, a senior police official in Lahore. The baby’s father, one of his teenage sons and others in the residence severely injured some of the officials by tossing bricks their way, Butt added.
The family’s violent response made authorities seek out those people in the house. An official document aired by CNN affiliate GEO News shows charges of stoning and attempted murder.
However, the manner how and why the 9-months-old infant was implicated in the case was unclear. The Lahore police official confirmed that the child appeared in court Wednesday and was booked as his grandfather held him.
“The police filed a wrong, false arrest charge sheet and brought this innocent 9-month-old into this court room for an appearance,” the family’s lawyer, Irfan Tarar, said.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif directed police to immediately suspend a Pakistani official for registering the case against the baby boy after a media coverage of the incident.
