Three-year-old accused for murder!
It happened because a complainant implicated the three-year old while filing a murder charge with the Sutrapur police station in the city. The question we would like to ask is how could the police accept such a complaint even if some one made such a charge. On the very face of it, it is clear that Iman Ali was implicated simply to harass the family. Doesn't our police have that simple common sense that a three year old cannot possibly commit murder? To accept the compliant, and then to process all the necessary papers and then to bring him to court the Sutrapur police had to do a lot of paper work on this boy. Wasn't there any senior officer in the whole station to prevent such an abuse of law when the whole process was taking place?
Our second question is to the Honourable judge who granted him bail. Couldn't he have seen through it all and dismissed the charge against the three year old. Why didn't he question the police about it and punish them for this harassment of an innocent child. We know justice is blind but does it have to be so blind that it does not see when the judicial system is being made a mockery of.
We commend the law minister for seeing the news in the media and being proactive enough so as to question the IG and ask for the suspension of the involved policemen. This boy's life would have been forever ruined but for the media coverage. We now ask the minister to go further and have the boy saved from further harassment. The law should also be amended in a way that such absurdity does not recur in future.
