When a group of students approached police officers in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, and requested for a report to be made against a classmate who had allegedly stolen a pencil, they were taken aback.
When a primary school student’s pencil was stolen by a classmate, he resolved to seek justice by knocking on the doors of a police station.
When a group of students contacted police officers in Andhra Pradesh’s Kurnool district to file a complaint against a classmate, they were taken aback.
A youngster from the first standard, Hanumantha, was shown visiting the Peddakabadur Police Station in Kurnool with his classmate, who was suspected of stealing, seeking officers to fix their “pencil problem” in a video that was supposedly filmed in February but only recently became popular on social media networks.
The footage was posted on the official Twitter account of the Andhra Pradesh Police. In a series of tweets, the police claimed, “Even Primary School Children Trust AP Police: There is a paradigm shift in the attitude, behaviour, and sensitivity of Andhra Pradesh Police in terms of offering confidence and comfort to the people of Andhra Pradesh.”
The youngster is seen in the video saying that a boy snatched his pencil and never returned it. When the officers inquire what they can do about the issue, the youngster is overheard indicating that a case against the boy should be filed. While this is going on, a number of the child’s pals can be seen standing in the background, giggling at the oddity of the scenario.
The officers were observed having a lengthy conversation with the two kids, attempting to reach an agreement by explaining that filing a complaint meant the child accused would go to jail, that bail was hard, and Hanumantha should forgive him for “having a big heart.” Hanumantha, not easily persuaded, weighs the arguments before strongly requesting that at least the mother of the “accused” be called.
